HELEN:
Ron, would you agree, at least, to the idea that there is a thread in
Christianity that can be vicious and brutal? If Hitler followed the line of
"Christian thinking" that lead to the witchcraft trials in the thirteenth
century, then is it that odd that he should end up finding "Christian"
theories to justify what he was doing in the 1930's and 40's?
