Hitler Shrine in Walworth County

Ironically that's the same religion practiced by Hitler. Physicalism (the modern religion that most modern leftists follow without even realizing) was born out of Darwinism, which is the basis of eugenics and consequently the concept of an Aryan Nation.
Eugenics isn't a science. It's a perversion. The transition from Darwinisn to eugenics to Aryanism is hardly what I would call scientific. It's absurd to equate "physicalism" with the ideology of Hitler. Besides, physicalism is metaphysics. It's not science at all. :rolleyes:

So you are saying that he didn't believe his own words from that speech? Are you suggesting that in his speech invoking his "Lord and Savior Jesus" he was lying? That he did not believe Jesus was his Lord and Savior? That he did not practice what he believed the Bible was telling him? And you know this .... how?

It's not known with any certainty. What is known, however, is that: 1) He did not attend church. 2) He actively put the secular state above churches. 3) He actively suppressed churches. 4) He vocally rejected the Catholic Church (the one under which he was raised) when he became a teenager and did not subsequently join any others. 5) The philosophy of the Aryan Nation is a eugenics-based philosophy, which is implemented Darwinism. It was very atypical of Christians of the day to accept Darwinism (let alone practice it) as there was little scientific evidence supporting it. Germany was a very Christian nation back then, and he would not have had any success with the people if he had publicly condemned Christianity. However, he actively rejected it in his personal life and in practice approached it similarly to a modern day leftist.

Actually it technically falls under genetics and is even actively (and acceptably) being practiced in the UK today. Doctors have begun testing babies for "imperfections" in the womb so that they can be aborted if less than perfect. I agree that it is perverse, but it's definately a science and is based on the basis of physicalism.

Darwinism is the study of natural selection and eugenics is its practice. It's less of a leap than it is a step between the two.

Physicalism is the metaphysics of science. It states what it believes science implies. Whether you give any thought to metaphysics or not is really irrelevant. The fact is that your statement that modern physics is "your bible" means that you adhere to the beliefs of physicalism. It does not imply that you support eugenics, but to imply that Hitler's fanaticism grew out of Christianity is absurd, because it was clearly an implementation of Darwinism. -- modified at 11:19 Wednesday 14th June, 2006

Actually we're trying to eliminate the hate in a peaceful and intellectual way. We don't like people being manipulated into hating us, so we're waging an intellectual counterattack for the minds of our youth.

Eugenics is a philosophy. It is not a science being practiced. It is a social issue. While genetic testing may aid it's acceptance/rejection, the fact that genetic tests are utilized does not a science make it. If anything, it's a social program.

Eugenics is not the practice of Darwinism. Eugenics is pre-selective breeding. There's a huge difference.

Stating that I use modern physics as my bible is not philosophically tantamount to stating I believe in physicalism. Physicalism is monist theory in disguise (see: monads) for which we have Leibniz to "thank". Don't be fooled. While believers in metaphysics claim that they support physics, this isn't actually true. They accept the existence of stupid intangibles such as "qualia". It's ridiculous, not to mention nonphysical, and no better than a religious argument. You make think it's the same thing, but as a practitioner, I reject it utterly and completely.

Unfortunately, many other ACTUAL problems are left behind, in favor of Holocaust and related topic. I don't mean that Holocaust was not a big problem, but it is no more actual.... :wtf:

Google disagrees: link[^] One of the supplied definitions (from the British Library) states that it is: "Derived from Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest. The Nazis used false scientific arguments to discourage procreation by members who they considered were 'unfit' to live in society, either physically, mentally or socially." And another (from the NRDC) states: "the study of hereditary improvement of the human race by controlled selective breeding." Darwinism is the study of natural selection. In the early 20th century, eugenics was actually pretty mainstream science and was even advocated in the US.

Explain that difference as I see none. Darwinism is natural selection. Eugenics is natural selection implemented. The relationship is identical as the one between science and engineering.

Monism denotes oneness with God while physicalism denoted absolute godlessness, so the two are not equivalent. Physicalism is the belief that all attributes of the universe can be successfully described through physics and that our "soul" is a derivitive of those physical properties. The two are quite different.

Yes but 1 thru 4 all match someone that believes their interpretation of Christianity is correct and the established religions are wrong.
Not really. What Martin Luther did would match what you're saying. Hitler placed a secular state that oppressed churches of all sorts at the top while adopting a eugenics (Darwinist/atheist) based policy as one of the bases of his government. That's inconsistent with what I would expect from someone who is a theist of any sort.

Congratulations on your 34 word excuse. I don't think excuses are supported by Christ either, but that will be your problem not mine. good luck
Are you implying that ideological dissent is now a hate crime? Do you see why we want to ensure that your ideology is effectively countered and destroyed?

It's a huge difference and it is not equivalent to the analogy of engineering and science. By canonical definition you cannot implement natural selection. It's as fundamental as the difference between the words "natural" and "pre-selective". Selective breeding implies three concepts: 1. isolation 2. artificial selection 3. inbreeding Not one of those qualifies as "natural selection". I fail to understand why the difference is not clear to you.

Seeing as you like Google so much, I'll refer you to wikipedia's entry on physicalism[^] where it clearly and directly states: Because it claims that only physical things exist, physicalism is a form of monism. Monists understand "God" to exist and operate within the universe. Hence, they believe God to be a physical essence.

Eugenics is a perverse and incorrect interpretation of Darwinism. Eugenics is the flawed belief that steering the "evolution" of a species is somehow related to Darwin's theories of natural selection. However, when you look at it properly, you see that Eugenics requires some combination of the following in order to effect genetic improvement. This includes: 1. isolation 2. inbreeding 3. artificial selection Not one of those methods is consistent with Darwin's theory. It's a bloody social philosophy that advocates "evolution" (if you want to call it that) through external intervention. Not what Darwin had in mind at all. It's pure pseudoscience. How can you seriously ascribe eugenics as falling under the umbrella of Darwin's theory? It is the total opposite and is more aptly termed "unnatural selection". -- modified at 12:11 Wednesday 14th June, 2006

I see the point you're trying to make, but from both a historical and scientific perspective it is false. The concept of Eugenics was born out of natural selection. Eugenics, as I said, is the implementation of natural selection (i.e. determining which characteristics will supposedly be most beneficial to mankind). It's a rudimentary form a genetic engineering that employs the concepts of Darwinism to actively breed out "negative" characteristics. I understand your unwillingness to accept this, since it's probably pretty unpalatable to you. And it's not just Google that disagrees with you...The "define" function points to numerous links from numerous sources that directly state you're incorrect.

I still see no difference. Darwinism clearly implies that humans are natural beings, so if humans kill off certain other creatures/humans, then it is by definition "natural selection". To equate it to another branch of science... Nuclear fusion occurs naturally in the sun. It does not occur naturally on earth. The fact that a fusion reaction can be initiated by man does not imply that it is no longer nuclear physics. Your argument is just absurd.

But you just disregarded 20 Google definitions that demonstrated your argument about Eugenics to be incorrect! I'll admit that I'm probably wrong about this. Why? Because I'm a bigger man than you.

I never said Darwin caused Eugenics. I said Eugenics was born by atheists out of Darwin's theories.

Uhhhh...How does evolution work if not through "external intervention". You're just trying to distance the two (because it points to the obviously monstrous behavior that is born from atheism), but they are the same thing. Sorry.
