Worse Than War (2009)
Not bad, but he leaves out the role of religion completely....
This is a really interesting movie, however he completely leaves out the role of religion in genocide. At one point the father mentions churches in a positive way, which is puzzling for me. The Jewish people been preached against (and killed because of it) by the Roman Catholic Church for around a thousand years. Hitler been blessed by the pope and he was extremely spiritual.
If you ever read parts of the Bible (mostly the old testament: Exodus, Chapter 34, verses 11-14) it PROMOTES genocide. To be able to commit these crimes holy books been used all over the world. When religious people claim that morals are originated from the God of the Bible, it gives them the opportunity to dehumanize others, treating themselves as chosen ones.
Otherwise it makes some interesting points, mostly about the human behavior, when normal people commit unbelievable crimes and when they remember they can't even themselves understand.
