What Hitler thought of Biblical foundations
Hitler did indeed go after churches because they rose up to oppose him, but that doesn't change the fact that he did indeed base his racial views on Biblical foundations (again, as revealed by his own private handwritten notes), and felt that he was "solving" the "Jewish problem" in order to, in his own words, do "the work of the Lord". But neither the Bible nor Christianity in general is responsible for Hitler's choices and depravities, nor would Darwin nor the theory of evolution be responsible even if he *had* used them for support in the way he used the Bible. As I wrote in other posts:
[...] the fact that the KKK and other groups explicitly rested their actions firmly on religious grounds, and explicitly *attacked* evolutionists. If you and Coulter can play guilt-by-association by mentioning that Marx liked Darwin, I'll be glad to return the favor and point out that you're on the same side as the KKK with regards to being pro-Christian and anti-evolution. That means exactly as much/little as the Hitler/Marx/Darwin twaddle, so tell me again how much stock you put into such stuff. [...] It's one thing to note that "Darwinism" has been misused and abused -- but name me one ideology that hasn't been.[...]
Science describe how things happen when nature is left to take its course -- only a moron would argue that this is how things *should* be or that humans are bound to "assist" nature in killing off the weak and drowning people who live in the paths of flash floods and infecting people who are at risk of pathogens.

You do not see the connections between their thoughts and their actions?
I see connections between Hitler's rabid hatred of Jews and his actions. I see connections between Stalin's brutality and his actions. I see connections between Mao's lust for power and his actions. I don't see that a study of how species are shaped by nature suddenly turns anyone into a monster. These men would have been monsters in any age, whether Darwin had written books on biology or not. Plenty of racists through the ages have "justified" their innate racism by quoting scripture, too, but scripture didn't make them racists, it was just one of the things they used to try rationalize their behavior.
It's not a fact.
According to the Bible the JEWS ARE THE CHOSEN PEOPLE LOVED BY GOD !
And where does scripture mandate racial discrimination? I suppose you can make the claim that the Jews were commanded not to mingle with certain nations but all those nations were basically the same race.
When it comes to different races, Moses had black wives and the Ethiopians (blacks) are never referred to in any demeaning fashion.
There is not a hint of racial discrimination in the New Testament.
