Don't even go there as you never put up an argument for anything anyway.
All you do is get personal with the theists on this board while never demonstrating anything yourself.
A "law" in the context Godwin is using it means: "a general rule or principle that is thought to be true or held to be binding."

If you're silly enough to grant law status to Godwin's opinion what can I say?
People just use the Nazis because they're an easy example for people to identify.
There's nothing inherently wrong in doing that.
quote: Godwin's law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies or Godwin's Law of Nazi Analogies[1][2]) is an argument made by Mike Godwin in 1990[2][non-primary source needed] that has become an Internet adage. It states: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."[2][3] In other words, Godwin observed that, given enough time,
in any online discussion—regardless of topic or scope—someone inevitably makes a comparison to Hitler and the Nazis.

His law has been refuted. There are plenty of long threads on 2+2 where Nazis never crop up in the discussion.
