Mien Kampf was all hogwash (and extremly dry) but that does not mean we can not learn something from the writer through it. Why believe in anything? Just because there are some bad bits doesn't mean there are some good bits. Who can argue with the Ten Commandments? As far as moral codes go, it is a pretty fair attempt.
