That is exactly what crossed my mind. If not for “Christian Europeans”, the entire Jewish population within Europe may have been wiped out. Of course we could also say that it was the fault of non-Christians which led to the genocide, or the fault of non-practicing Christians. It's somewhat ridiculous for the author to bring up that argument, and I don't think we should take him all that seriously because of it.
I have no problem saying blame the Nazis.One thing I've learned, when having a dialogue with other religions, don't write like this author. :-
Sounds like a New-Left Historian to me. I had a run in with a professor who held similar views only against America saying we were the Anti-Semites blah blah blah. I won't go into it here, but suffice it to say, we had words, I dropper her class, and I proved her wrong all in one fatal swoop. 🙂
Probably. Thankfully, it's just this one chapter out of the book. The 2 other reading assignments on Judaism, as well as the other religion chapters, were quite informative….because the authors stuck with religion and left out the politics and personal opinions.
The whole paragraph, but mainly the parts I underlined are making me go “Huh?” My immediate thought was, well if it wasn't for these “complicit” European and American Christians who fought and gave their lives fighting Germany, the Jews and everyone else the Germans thought as inferior, would be completely eradicated.What do you folks think?
I have to agree with you but some folks are so set in their agenda that they simply cannot see good in anyone. They cant see the forest for the trees, if you will. I also think that some folks just enjoy playing the victim, it would upset their worldview to acknowledge that evil is not genetic or societal but rather an individual trait.
