"The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity; there is none who does good. God looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God. Every one of them has turned aside; they have together become corrupt; there is none who does good, no, not one." (Psalm 53:1-3)

To those individuals acquainted with the Holocaust of World War II, the name of Simon Wiesenthal is certainly a most familiar one. World-famous for his ceaseless pursuit of Nazi war criminals, he often speaks to college audiences about his activities.

"Could it happen again, even in the United States?" Wiesenthal is often asked by American college audiences. His reply is, "Yes. All you need is a government program of hatred and a crisis. If it happened in a civilized nation like Germany, which was a cultural superpower, it can happen anywhere." (From Simon Wiesenthal, Dallas Times Herald, April 22, 1979)

Certainly, men can be exceedingly evil and corrupt. It is only through the fear of God that men change and begin to love, rather than hating and destroying one another.
