60. No, I don't think what Hitler did was okay
Then why was it okay to kill 56,000,000 by letting him try?

I would've chosen to oppose him if I existed back then. I don't believe murder gets us anywhere regardless if it's done by individuals or if it's done by dictators and tyrants on a mass scale.

But that's just it: You don't get a choice. Under this theology, the only one who has that choice is the deity itself. And the onus for Hitler, New Orleans, Rwanda, and everything else is on that deity.

Let me try to sum up your argument as best as possible. God gives man free will. Man decides to wage war and inflict poverty on himself. It's God's fault for giving him free will in the first place. Is that the gist of the argument or close to it?
