After all, who can expect a creature to be more noble and altruistic than the process which created it. And if that process is the wholesale slaughter of the weak and imperfect than why should the pinnacle of that butchery be any less than a master butcher. By taking Darwinism to it's logical social extension you make genocide "the lord's work".

And many Christians have done exactly that. As well as a lot of Muslims, Hindus, Shintoists, etc, etc...
"After all, who can expect a creature to be more noble and altruistic than the process which created it."
Man, Darwin only said that Mother Nature, God, whoever, eliminates those who don´t survive. How?, through plagues, hurricanes, birthgiving deaths.........you know, what we call natural causes.
Genocide the lord's work? Well, from what we've read in your bible... yup, very, very much so. Along with rape, torture, lots and lots of fire, and getting stoned once in a while.
If we believe the Old Testament, then God killed off everything that draws breath, except eight people and an ark-load of animals, because of some errant angels. If we believe parts of the New Testament, then God has predestined most of humanity to eternal torment in hell. Who can expect a creature to be more noble and altruistic than the Creator Who created it?
But we also have compassion that comes from the fact that we can think and reason. works .
I don't think most "Darwinists" would advocate "taking Darwinism to it's [sic] logical social extension" because that would be a total nightmare.
And regardless of what created humans, I DO expect them to be altruistic and noble. This argument of "if we come from monkeys we'll act like monkeys" is nonsense.
Someone obviously hasn't read their buybull.
I'm sure glad the buybull is a collection of fiction, because I would hate to live in a universe that's ruled by a deity who commands genocide, forces young girls to marry their rapists, murders the world's population with a flood, and a bunch of other tyrannical shit that makes the Satan character (who is also fictitious, by the way) look like a nice guy.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
