Leave it to Him

Heinrich Himmler, the mass murderer and member of the Nazi SS during World War II, and 2nd most powerful man in Germany under Adolph Hitler, said of his idol, the Fuhrer, "He is the greatest genius of all time."

A Catholic priest said of the Holocaust perpetrators, "Leave criminals to the judgment of God."

Simon Wiesenthal, a Holocaust survivor who hunted down Nazi war criminals in order to bring them to justice, said, "Friendship ends where a crime is concerned."

None of these three statements about crime and criminals can be rationally understood, emotionally embraced or completely understood. So why not leave the problem to Him? The Devil at work in the world, daily demonstrates his ability to convert fire into ice and ice into flame. How the greatest criminal can be transformed into the greatest genius is a mystery, best left to Him. And when atheists and agnostics deny Him, they just highlight Himmler’s words, consigning justice and hope to darkness.
