I just want to be clear on what we're saying here.
The Holocaust, the Final Solution to the Jewish Question, was more Himmler's baby than Hitler's, while actualised by Heydrich. Hitler originally wanted the Jews forcibly removed from German controlled areas. As executive authority in that regime, was it more or less 'evil' to command such atrocities, or to allow them in the knowledge that he had the power to prevent them?
I don't know that it's "less" evil. Maybe equal.

So, sorry if this sounds dickish, Abraham couldnt get into heaven in that case?
What do you mean?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
