I think we need to define what I am talking about when I say Christianity. To paraphrase the words of Billy Sunday, going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. When I refer to Christianity, I am referring not to what any church has taught or biblical scholar has believed. I am referring to the teachings of the New Testament. The teachings of Jesus, Paul, and others.
Based upon those teachings, I would conclude that Hitler was not a Christian, while Luther was. Christians are not perfect, but they do hold to certain essentials in belief- chief of which is the need to repent and received Christ as Savior for the remission of sins. If one claims to be a Christian but does not follow this essential teaching of the Bible, then in my estimation and Scriptures, they are not a Christian.

I'm calling Dittojed2 a troll. Introducing an extraneous argument about naziism on a scientific thread about the evolution of lice is the epitome of trollish behavior. If this argument proceeds any further, it'll be deeply offensive to a number of Christiana; I'm therefore going to drop it.
