I have just come across Godwins Law and although I have read through it 10 times, I don't think I am grasping the whole meaning or when it is appropriate to use in a discussion. Has anyone a good understanding of it that can explain it in layman's terms? I would greatly appreciate any input.

godwins law
Thankyou Rrhain, so e.g, if someone was discussing the Benny Hinn ministries, it would be inappropriate to compare them with the nazi regime? If they do then is Godwins Law invoked as a no no?

Re: godwins law
I think my 'opponent' who raised it didn't understand it either. He began his reply with "invoking godwins law permaturely," and then raised the issue of nazism in comparison to religious ministries. Huh?
