Now that's really scary.  I thought such beliefs were completely
repudiated at Nurenburg.  But then, it gives me a better insight into
the appeal of Nazism.  Sorry if it makes you tense, Jeff, but you
are responsible for your own actions.  There will always be people
like Eichmann with a "the devil (Fuehrer/God/whatever) made me
do it" defense, I suppose.  So where do *YOU* draw the line, Jeff?
I'm sorry, I mean, where does your god draw the line?  Might he ask
you to inconvenience 1 person?  How about 2?  10?  1,000?  6,000,000?
*NEVER AGAIN!*
