Christ --> Jim Jones

Any idea can be mutated into something evil.

Kinda. Except Nietsche's ideas followed logically from Hegel's. And Hitler's "master race" followed logically from Nietsche's superman. Jim Jones' ideas don't follow logically from Christ's.

That is the fault of those doing the mutating, not the original thinkers. It's "Neitzsche" and "Sartre," BTW, not to be pedantic...and I don't really think Pol Pot was an Existentialist...

No, but he studied in Paris and was influenced by Satre's political thought. Check out Paul Johnson's Intellectuals.

Do you have a problem with the Bible being censored from gov't school libraries? What about Rosie O'Donnell's autobiography? The point is, someone has to decide what books are going to be worthy of a child's study and what books are worthy for a school library.

You seem to be presuming my position and scolding me for your presumption. Shame on you.

Perhaps you should check out what I've already said on the topic before responding. Just a suggestion.
