Likewise with Edith Stein since even though she was practically a Catholic for presumebly most of her life, in the deluded eyes of the Nazis she was Jewish merely because she was born to Jewish parents. Fanatics do not care, because in their eyes your father was left-handed because he born left-handed and would not see him using his right hand as exemption from execution. But if a sociopathic regime who for some bizarre reason wanted to exterminate people who were born left-handed with no mercy or exception, they would kill your left-handed father despite the fact he was trained to use his right hand. There is no logic in the minds of evil fanatics that want to destroy entire populations from the ground up. The Nazis weren’t being unreasonable in spinning out their logic to its inevitable conclusions, they were being immoral in accepting that race mattered.
If these premises are flawed, then any logical conclusions will depart from truth, no matter how keenly the rules of logic have been applied to the problem. Remember, logic consists of reasoning by a set of rules from premises. By there understanding it was perfectly logical. Is it that the Nazis were being “illogical” to kill Edith Stein for being Jewish?Ī silly accusation.
