" Hmmmmm. Let's see. You continue to harp on the idea that Hitler was a theist."

He was.

"You've been reminded many times that Hitler was insane (on which point you parse in a most Clintonian manner), and that his views cannot be taken as representative of theistic thought."

If he was insane, that means he didn't know the consequences of his actions. It's a legal term, not a medical one. I think he knew damn well what he was doing. He was evil, not insane. And I NEVER said his views were representative of theistic thought; I said the OPPOSITE.

"And yet you continue to harp on this. I think you're tarring theistic thought in general on the basis of your belief that Hitler was theistic."

I think you are willfully ignoring what I posted so you can knock down a strawman. I specifically said his views were not like 99% of theists.

"This was probably the sanest statement of his worldview -- written before his quack doctor started shooting him full of crap. No theism here, but a pretty good summary of Nazism in practice, and it's pretty Darwinian."

1) In Mein Kampf he time and time again states that the Aryan Race is the creation of God. Your quote does NOTHING to argue against that. You think that using a quote that happens not to mention God negates all the ones he did? THAT'S Clintonian.

2) There is NOTHING Darwinian about that quote. The idea of a struggle in nature predates Darwin and predates evolution. It is a fact of nature. The idea of competition for resources was also one of the foundations of capitalism.
