In response to Ben Stein and Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor claiming that Soviet Russia and NAZI Germany were the result of reason.

“You can do all kinds of reductios with Stein’s claim. Scientists were involved in the Holocaust, therefore science is evil. Trains were used to transport Jews to the death camps, therefore trains are evil. The railway tracks were made of metal, therefore metal is evil. And so on.

Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor, on the other hand, cuts directly to the chase: thinking was used in the planning of the Holocaust, therefore thinking is evil.”
