it to ensure that I am not taking the quote above out of context}.

I agree with the part quoted, but that does not negate the statement I
made. As with most myths, they are stories designed to make a point.
And, as part of the Christian theology, those who claim to be Christians
should be expected to pay attention to the lesson taught; specifically,
those who claim that the slaughter of the Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals,
etc. during WWII was the least bit justified due to the any kind of
karmic law.
