    The audacity of claiming that religious adherents are uniquely racist!

    Racism is literally the foundation of Darwinism, as explicitly stated by Francis Crick, the co-discoverer of the DNA double helix.

    It’s right there in the title of Darwin’s book: On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life

    It’s human nature to fight each other, and the tendency towards extremism is universal.

      I did not claim religious people were uniquely racist, only that religion supports and reinforces racism. Kindly refrain from putting words in my mouth and actually answer my actual points.

      Human Nature is a naturalistic fallacy, and is a way to avoid actually addressing whether or not religion assists and reinforces racism or not.

        You said it’s the foundation of racism.

        foundation noun foun·​da·​tion 1 : the act of founding here since the foundation of the school 2 : a basis (such as a tenet, principle, or axiom) upon which something stands or is supported the foundations of geometry the rumor is without foundation in fact

        Technical arguments don’t change the fact that Darwinism is inherently racist.

          It’s certainly not the only foundation, but it is a foundation.

          Darwinism is not inherently racist, race isn’t even real, it’s a social construct. You’ve been doing Nazi apologia, intentionally or not, by attempting to tie Hitler to actual, sound science, and pretending the science must be bad.

            I think you’re moving the goalposts.

              On the contrary, this entire convo you’ve been diligently trying to claim I was saying something I wasn’t, then mouth off about how Darwinism is racist because the Nazis cited Darwinism as justification. You’re dedicated to deliberately misinterpreting and derailing all conversations here.
