One major lesson the twentieth century teaches us is that one should particularly fear those who fear not God. A common characteristic of this century’s three most murderous leaders — Hitler, Stalin, and Mao — has been contempt for the notion of a God who punishes evil behavior. Few people are more dangerous than those who combine passionate hatreds with a lack of belief in a God whose primary demand of human beings is ethical behavior.
