"I will point out to you that Luther was an eminent scholar who is almost deified by many." Almost deified? Sorry the position has been taken and Luther would be the first to admit his own sinfulness. ”My feelings as a Christian.." I see, and you believe every politicians claims? His actions speak louder than his empty words. ”><>Hitler’s actions were inconsistent with biblical morality, but perfectly consistent with yours<><” "What a despicable and ignorant little rat you are. You can’t even converse without throwing in vicious lies and insults." I'm sorry. I did not intend that as a personal insult or to insinuate that you in any way approve of what Hitler did. Adler puts it better than I did. "Neither Austin nor the twentieth-century legal positivists who follow him regard themselves as defenders of absolute government or despotism. That is what they are, however -- perhaps not as explicitly as their predecessors, but by implication at least. The denial of natural rights, the natural moral law, and natural justice leads not only to the positivist conclusion that man made law alone determines what is just and unjust. It also leads to a corollary which inexorably attaches itself to that conclusion -- "that might makes right" -- this is the very essence of absolute or despotic government."
