He wasn't a true Christian, but he was a true "Darwinist."

Exactly! Maybe there is hope for you!

Now, why was it he didn't use images of Darwin or excerpts from "The Origin of Species" in his propaganda?“

That's an interesting point you raise. Here is some Nazi propaganda:

Our starting point is not the individual, and we do not subscribe to the view that one should feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, or clothe the naked . . . . Our objectives are entirely different: we must have a healthy people in order to prevail in the world.”
Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda, 1938

Now who is the one who called us to feed the hungry etc? Do you really need me to spell out the name? It starts with a J.

OTOH, that campaign to have a healthy people in order to prevail in the world was based in part on ideas about public health and genetic "fitness" that had grown out of the inclination of many late nineteenth century scientists and intellectuals to apply the Darwinian concepts of evolution to the problems of human society.

Historical bastardization and abuse of scripture in furtherance of antisemitism proves that the proponents of such bastardization and abuse are not true Christians.

On the other hand, historical bastardization and abuse of the theory of evolution in furtherance of antisemitism proves that the proponents of such bastardization and abuse are true “Darwinists.”

Funny how that works.
