I didn't start this Hitler stuff, but as long as some creationist was foolish to bring it up ... Actually, Hitler was a creationist:

Hitler was a creationist, Hitler was an evolutionist, Hitler was whatever it was convenient to be at that exact moment. That's the stupidity of this argument. People who really, really want to exterminate another race of people use whatever tools are easily available at the time, be they Darwinism, Christianity, Shintoism, Islam or whatever. Trying to infer anything but expediency from this betrays a sad lack of histrorical knowledge, or an extreme tendentiousness.

Bingo. So why, oh why, do creationists continue to raise such a stupid argument? Oh ... I've answered my own question.

He wasn't a creationist. He may have somehow weirdly believed that the Creator set forward evolution as many Christians do today, but he wasn't a Creationist. And, he wasn't Christian.

If you have studied Nazi Germany, Hitler used Christianity as a propaganda tool, was raised in the R.C. church, but gave no deference to Christ at all. I don't even think that Jesus is mentioned in Mein Kampf. Could be wrong. But I don't think so.
