Amen to that! - I need hardly remind Mr Leibowitz, who I assume to be a Jewish gentleman, that it was baptised Christians who herded Jews into the gas chambers - many of whom, Sister Elenore, would have read their Bibles and prayed. This was something, I'm afraid, that had nothing to do with Hitler's supposed Godlessness and everything to do with the Old Hatred. - (Read "Godless Morality" by ex-bishop Richard Holloway if you need convincing of the futility of basing morality on God.) - A point, incidentally, that that (the ex-Hitler youth) Benedict XVI would be advised to remember. - The Old Hatred, of course, stemmed from a religious difference over the Jewish prophet, Jesus of Nazareth.
