Hitler co-opted elements of Christian theology to make his race-based pseudo-philosophy more palatable in the social context of the times.

Yes, exactly. Think about what you are saying. Hitler and the nazi propaganda machine called on the Bible, and RC doctrine, law and tradition, by specific verse, event, and document, to justify murdering jews. Hitler did not think that vegetarian nudist Odin-worshipping jew-hatred would turn the trick, now did he? He thought christian-based jew-hating would turn the trick, and it did. It is irrelevant to what extent Hitler's christianity was a pose, and to claim it was entirely a pose flies in the face of his early history, and his frequently repeated public affirmations. You can't make someone not a christian based on the fact that they are hypocritical and you don't like them: that policy would cause the abandonment of churches from Portland Or. to Portland Me.

Running Wolf--please feel invited to bug off, I had quite enough of your disjoint, cryptic style of argument last time around.

I am not sure what this crusade against Christianity is all about but crusade it is and that you will pick up just about any tool topic you can as a foil to attack it with shows just how irrational and unscientific of what goes on on there inside of that head of yours.

It is about as absurd philosophically and historically correct as 98% of what the evo guitar guy says. IOW /NOT>
