You didn’t read the article, did you? Read the article.

On second thought, don’t waste your time. You won’t get it anyway.

Hitler talked about the master race constantly. Those weren’t “PRIVATE, and UNPUBLISHED thoughts,” genius.

See how difficult it is for me to quit wasting my time with people like you?

Racism is not synonymous with the theory of Evolution.

I am not making the argument that Nazi's were not racist, just that they were more motivated (as borne out by the words of their leaders spoken to them contemporaneously) by conspiracy theories, anti-Capitalism, racism, and Jews being “Christ killers” than motivated by a Scientific theory that, as you admit, was not the rallying cry they heard as to why they should hate Jews.

And it was Hitlers anti-Christian quotes that are all taken from one suspect source that were private and unpublished (until well after the Holocaust), as you admit, I never claimed his racist views were kept private and unpublished (Mien Kamph is full of them). In public and to his other contemporaries Hitler justified the Holocaust as avenging the “Blood upon the Cross”.

You seem incapable of either making or following a logical argument.

1)The private and unpublished secret hatred of Christianity that Hitler supposedly had (according to one source)doesn't change the fact that he publicly linked hatred of Jews to his ‘understanding’ of Christianity.

2) People cannot be motivated by something they never hear, and as you admit there was ‘religious rhetoric’ in his speeches not ‘scientific jargon’.

3) What Nazi's heard at their rallies as to why they should hate Jews was all about anti-Capitalism, racism, and theological accusations of blood guilt.

4) Darwin's theory of Evolution through natural selection could have little influence on what made Nazi's hate Jews if their leaders never presented it as a justification for the mass murder of Jews.

5) If someone sometime in the future actually does justify mass murder on the basis of their misunderstanding of Evolutionary theory it will no more discredit the theory than Hitler's justification of mass murder based upon his twisted theology could discredit Christianity.
