No! It would be mad, crazy, irresponsible and lack of sight for the world to hold modern Germans responsible for payments caused by Nazi terror. In order to understand this we need to ask whether:
1. Modern Italians (Romans) should be held responsible for handing Jesus over to the Jews to crucify him?
2. Modern Jews should be held responsible for crucifying Lord Jesus the Christ?
3. Africa should hold modern British peoples responsible for the theft, looting and broad day light robbery of African mineral deposits?
4. Modern Roman Catholics around the world should be held responsible for the millions of people killed during the inquisition instituted by papal bulls during the spread of Christianity in Europe?
5. Modern Muslims should be held responsible for the many people killed during the spread of Islam by the Ottoman empire?
6. Modern Americans should be held directly responsible for the evils of the slave trade in America for over 400 years; such evils included but not limited to castrating African males, burning African mothers, fathers and children alive, forced labor for which the Africans in America were never paid etc. Milions upon millions of Africans were barbarically brutally killed, massacred- a genocide took place in America.
7. Many other evil and negative example facts.
I do not think that we need to hold these peoples responsible for those atrocities. It is time for the world to look ahead and build a peaceful, loving and harmonious world for the future of our children and posterity as one human family.
There are many vital things modern day citizens of this earth need to address in order to foster growth, development, love of one another, prosperity for all earth citizens and advanced compulsory care for our environment. The combating of killer diseases around the world and all forms and kinds of social evils that today plague the moral fiber of human society are more important issues than focusing on holding any modern peoples responsible for atrocities committed by their ancestors or by some few leaders in any part of the globe.
I also think that Helium should edit what topics they bring to table for discussion as some of them should never even appear in the Helium debate forum as they deserve to be left in the backyard in the modern world.
How modern people think and act today are some of the points that need discussion because all of us are directly and indirectly affected by what how we think and act. There are laws in nature and creation
