Killing in God's name
The Editor:
Re Michael Coren: "Killing in God's name,"
I was surprised to see Michael Coren lump Adolf Hitler in with the
atheist leaders. Raised Catholic, the German dictator was prone to
giving his policies the imprimatur of the Almighty. In his
autobiography Mein Kampf he informs readers: "And so I believe to-day
that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator.
In standing guard against the Jew I am defending the handiwork of the
Lord." There are atheists who are naturally kind and good, while many
believers of different stripes justify cruel and selfish deeds in the
name of their religious faith. Better an inquiring agnostic mind, I
say, than a viciously fanatical heart.
