Show Can This Be True? So What? If the following is true it is because of our poor, competitive com-petitive system based on greed and lust for power among nations as well as individuals: "Hitler is not a strange, but a typical figure. He is the substance and spirit of our whole time come suddenly to life in a single person. Hitler possesses not one unique feature fea-ture of mind or action. They very weapons which he uses, the tank, the armored car, the submarine and the bombing plane have been produced and thus provided by his rivals. His passions and hates, his purposes and policies, his very superstitions and manias, in whatever perverted or poisoned form, are only those of our own age oonceived in this one soul. The Fueher is in the essence what we are and his . Reich is what our world has come to. It is in this sense that Adolph Hitler, like Nebuchanezzar before him, is a creature, even an instrument of history. For it is by our sins that we are punished, as from our sins that we must be redeemed. Which means that our task this day is to conquer, con-quer, not Hitler, but OURSELVES, and to change not the Nazis, but Mankind!"- Dr. John Haynes Holmes. |
