"You need to read more about the history and preferred methods of the eugenics movement."

That may be, but maybe you can help me out here. Are you claiming that the eugenics practiced by Christians compared to the eugenics practiced by the Nazis?

And while were at it, maybe you can answer another question. When conservatives try to discourage welfare moms from having more children that they cannot afford to raise, do you consider that a form of "eugenics"?

Just trying to figure out where you're coming from here.

Not the old Darwin = Hitler nonsense again! It's an utterly ridiculous logical fallacy. Besides, the Theory of Evolution is a scientific observation of how species come about in nature. Anyone attempting to employ it as a prescription for running a society is misusing the theory. As in, guns don't kill people ...

Conservatives are trying to get people off welfare and not reward the for having additional children. I don't see the connection.
