I realize this, but I still kind of feel that most people don't really think about that part of their beliefs too deeply. They just kinda, "Yeah, so... Jesus and ****, why don't we get back to all the nice tales about walking on water and helping your fellow man, and forget all this vengeance stuff? Makes me sad in the pants."

So when I see someone justify the Nazis as a way to purge non-believers, it puts cracks in what little faith I still have in humanity. It's been a while since the militant atheist in me was awoken, but apparently he's still in there.
