I think I remember Erykah Badu from the Star Wars Cantina Scene.
A muslim would obviously see things to appreciate in Hitler, and not mind if a man molested women so long as they were Kafir.
As Christians we take for granted that others share our values when in fact they do not.
“I see good in everybody.”
In a way, she’s right. Bad people are often very talented.
For example, baby-killing, child-raping, cannibals are usually extremely skilled at Democratic politics.
Be afraid, very afraid because this mind of mush and the insanity occupies millions upon millions including those in government and education.
but when Trump said that there were “good people on both sides” you would have thought the sky was falling.
Hitler was a monster who should be consigned to the dustbin of history.
I’m going to try not to open myself up to attack here, but I’m probably going to step into it. Here goes —
Jesus loves everyone. Even Hitler. We are called to be Christ-like, and that is hard. We don’t have to admire Hitler, defend Hitler, support Hitler or “understand” Hitler. But the Bible would say that no one is absolutely beyond redemption (until they die) and there is always hope that someone can be saved.
It may seem trite, but JRR Tolkien was a fine Christian and at the climax of The Lord of The Rings, the wonderful saintly Frodo is unable to destroy the One Ring. He doesn’t have it in him. He isn’t strong enough. But the evil Gollum, for selfish reasons, and quite unintentionally, takes the step which finally results in the Ring being thrown into the fire and destroyed. Tolkien did this on purpose. Gollum could have been killed earlier (he deserved it) but pity stayed Bilbo’s hand, and it stayed Frodo’s hand. The pity and sensitivity to another life allowed that life (evil as it was) to continue on, and in the end, good came out of it.
For me, this is a philosophical/theological issue and I wouldn’t want to strictly focus on Hitler because there is so much raw emotion tied up in that evil person. It blinds us. But I think the basic point is valid for all — we all have good and evil in our soul. It doesn’t help us if we pretend that this isn’t so — that there are exceptions and that “some people” are just no good at all. In fact, that is precisely the mistake Hitler made about the Jews: “Sure, why not exterminate them? There is nothing good there!” But he was wrong.
How much good does she see in Christian, White, male, heterosexual, gun owning, conservatives I wonder?
He did treat his dog nicely.
child rapist/killer John wayne Gacy killed young boys and stuffed them in the crawl spaces of his house. Erica would say- “ He loved kids, and was a homeowner”
What this creature fails to understand is that Hitler would have used her for fuel to fire up the ovens at Auschwitz.
It may be technically true that there is good in everyone, Herr Hitler did treat his dog well and was a decent artist.
However, I think that his attempted genocide of Jews, Romani and other groups as well as starting the most destructive war in human history outweighs his artistic and animal lover attributes.
No one ever looks good by even indirectly praising a monster.
