Massive lists of out of context quotes are not an effective debate tactic.
What is an effective debate tactic?

Ignoring actual historical quotes and rewriting history to suit personal opinion?

Falsely proclaiming that quotes are out of context, without providing any evidence whatsoever that they actually are out of context, is NOT an effective debate tactic.

So my quotations stand, while your bogus statement is rejected.

Dark_Lite's statement = CATASTROPHIC FAIL.

Because you haven't provided any context so far!

All you've done is post random quotes from Mein Kamph and used periods to get around the forum software.

So my quotations stand, while your bogus statement is rejected.

Dark_Lite's statement = CATASTROPHIC FAIL.

Any time you wish to actually explain how your quotes are relevant to modern science, feel free.

All of your quotes are either really old, have nothing to do with the topic at hand, are non-sequitors, or are just completely out of context.

Well, when all you do is post a bunch of quotes and nothing of actual substance, what do you expect people to do? Surely not refute your 50 random quotes pulled from Hitler and various other random irrelevant sources that have nothing to do with the topic at hand.

The Opening Poster, namely Christian Soldier, takes a different perspective.

The quotes are old precisely because we are talking abut Darwin's deadly legacy.

The above statement profoundly influenced Hitler and the Nazis. They firmly believed that Germans and other "Aryan" peoples stood "at the summit of civilization", and were thus destined by the "scientific fact" of evolution to conquer and subjugate the planet, and usher in their "Thousand Year Reich".

That's nice. Also, when Gandalf arrived at the Gray Havens, Cirdan gave him Narya, the Ring of Fire, but Gandalf didn't flaunt it openly after until the fall of Sauron.

I agree. Darwin's racist book is titled "The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life." Hitler named his book My Struggle after Darwin's book.

Ooo, ooo quote mining! Can I play too?

We are all proud that through God's powerful aid, we have become once more true Germans.
Adolf Hitler
Speech March 1933

Who says I am not under the special protection of God.
Adolf Hitler
After winning elections of 1933 in Germany

I believe that it was God's will to send a youth from here into the Reich, to let him grow up, to raise him to be the leader of the nation so as to enable him to lead back his homeland into the Reich.
Adolf Hitler
April 1938, closing speech of election campaign in Vienna on eve of polling

Does this mean I get to blame God for the holocaust? Or can we all go on to a level of arguement that is beyond the mine?

Please?

Neither of our quotes have any context whatsoever.

Now, I'm fairly sure what your point in quoting Hitler will be, but would you please be considerate enough to actually bother articulating an argument instead of forcing us to guess?

Notice that the second paragraph is arguing against the first.

I suggest you think more about that quote, and try to analyze what he's really saying, because he's actually saying exactly the opposite of what you think he's saying.

Dark_Lite made a very valid point. You seem intend on reading your agenda into quotes taken out of their literary and historical contexts.
