Would you say there is a difference between Jesus's personal beliefs about morality and the logical workings of Christianity as a system that would justify a movie "From Jesus to Hitler?" I would say the charges are scurrilous. They are intellectually specious and morally vacuous. No Christian should be a part of such a campaign of calumny, if only because it depends so much on playing on the ignorance of others, ignorance of history and ignorance of science. There is no logical, no philosophical, and no political link from evolution theory to the Holocaust.

Ed,

Hmmm…would you say there could be a difference between Darwin’s personal beliefs about morality and the logical outworkings of Darwinism as a system?

This is the "foundation stone" of morality, necessary for human survival, he wrote. I think you left your mind behind on this one. C'mon over to Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, we can get you good information so you won't be spreading these falsehoods to unsuspecting Christians any more. As Jesus said, those who mislead others bear not only their own burdens, but like a millstone about their necks . . . You know <i>that</i> scripture, right? Darwin urged that we treat humans with this philosophy: “Do unto others as ye would they should do unto you.” This is the “foundation stone” of morality, necessary for human survival, he wrote.
