How can degenerates have morals?
There was a case years back of a known Nazi criminal who was facing deportation. His Church stood up for him. Can you believe that? I am a Christian but I would be appalled if my Church wanted to stop a criminal from getting his due justice. It embarrassed me that his Church wanted him to be forgiven. What nonsense. God does ask us to forgive. But he didn't tell us to suspend the human justice system.

So all of these people are uniquely guilty, you think. Let me ask you whether the Americans who sent Russians to their deaths in Operation Keelhaul should be hunted down as war criminals today? Some of them witnessed Russians committing suicide on the trains they were packing them in and thus they knew their fate was very bleak. How are they all that different from these people? Yes, the Nazi regime is one of the worst the world has ever seen. But war crimes of a horrendous sort were committed by our side and even more by the Soviets in WWII. Victors' justice and incredibly stupid for the most part is how I see this.

I hear you loud and clear, friend. I'm very much an Old Testament type of fellow myself. And I believe that in many cases, we should forgive. But there is more to justice than moving on, or moving some money around. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life was not included in the Good Book for no reason.

(I take that back. It's unfair to Satanists.)
