The Pianist

I mentioned some time ago I had finished a book entitled The Pianist. The author of this book was a Jew and survived Hitler's invasion of Poland. He wrote this book immediately following the war and you can tell the man is a state of shock. The author is kept alive by a German soldier who is at odds or doesn't agree with Hitler's regime. The book also has some excerpts from this German soldiers diary. Among these excerpts is this thought. If people live like they don't won't anything to do with God at some God will decide they will have to live without Him. When this happens they turn into animals. The soldier's point was, I believe, that the Germans had begun to treat the Jews like an animal would treat another animal. Worse actually because they were killing innocent people. Soldiers would fire the pistols into crowds of people for absolutely no reason. They had an unexplainable joy in killing. Without God we are nothing we live like heartless creatures...
