   True and Hitler could never be thought to be a Good Influence on society but   
   he did at least find a way of uniting people in a common interest. If that   
   interest could be beneficial to all Humanity then why would this be a bad   
   thing?   
      
   This kind of social unity can never exist while we cling to outmoded ideas   
   of God and creation and morality.
