The thing is Hitler never used the Catholic or Protestant notion that they had replaced the Jews as God's anointed people. He also never spoke about the Jews being the enemies of God or that his was a Holy war. He spoke about superior races.
"On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life" was the full title of Darwin's ground breaking book. "Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life" sounds an awful lot like "superior races". Hitler wasn't alone in developing this notion as well. If you believe that mankind has evolved from lower forms of life and is still evolving; it's not unreasonable to assume that within our species there would be stronger progressive races and others that are weaker and in decline. Hitler viewed his race as superior and saw it as only natural to eliminate those who stood in the way of his races dominance. I mean if we are but animals isn't any action we take natural and amoral?

I am not going to post any links because I know it's been pointed out to you many times before, but Darwin was not referring to human races in the title of his book, but you can continue to ignore that and post bs.
