"Nazis preference was for the hegemony of the "Aryan race", and they were willing to shoot people to enforce that. They did not need to justify it by reference to some ultimate moral ground, and there were no overarching principles by which they could be criticized......" Neocon

Well, that's about the end of it for me from you. You are the most extreme relativist I have ever read. I would prefer a moral absolutist (such as you claim to be) to find some absolute moral basis on which all of us to condemn the Nazis (perhaps the categorical imperative). You are far too charitable to be a believer in moral law. You apologize for the Church burning heretics and deny Nazis ought to try to justify the deaths of millions. I wish you would reconsider and apologize and try to purge yourself of your moral obtuseness. The only morality I can see that you embrace is that of murderers and fascists. I am amazed that someone who pretends to intelligent and well read as you do and who claims to believe in natural law can make such inexcusable mistakes in judgment. Only a relativist and a very wicked person could justify the crimes against humanity that you brush away, apologize for, or ignore.
I am a very forgiving man. Forgiving to a fault. I often let men and women escape the just consequences of their acts. I do not believe in God or spirits. But if they do exist, I fear for you when the spirits of the millions of victims of holocausts cry out against your injustice and damn you to eternal hell.
