Attack of the Theocrats!
This whole "Darwin inspired the Holocaust" thing is the biggest piece of propaganda to come around since, well, the publication of Mein Kampf to be exact. Which was itself a propaganda tool, to the study and practice of propaganda. Surprisingly, most Christians freely admit to never have read it (I've asked them whenever they bring up the Ben Stein inspired Darwin/Holocaust argument). Does Hitler ever mention Darwin in his magnum opus? No. But what single book DOES Hitler quote all the way through Mein Kampf? ...What book does he repeatedly quote from to justify his present (early 1930s) and future actions? You guessed it. The Holy Bible. This simple fact needs to be hammered home whenever kooky Christians bring it up.
