Each person is totally responsible for his actions and can never hide behind the excuse that he was only following the orders which had 1 re ee been given to him by his superiors. If tomorrow I were to ask anyone of you to kill someone so that our movement may progress faster, you must not do it. Better still, if an Eloha were to ask you to kill another man, you should refuse to do it, for it would probably be Satan who would be trying to prove to the Eternals that all men are fundamentally bad. All your actions should be based on a deep feeling of respect for the life of others, their ideas, and their tastes. We fight ideologies without ever using violent physical actions towards those who do not agree with us. Awaken the people around you, show them how to become respectful of other people and how to refuse “deresponsibilisation’, whose most dangerous propagator is the armed forces. Remember, 85 per cent in Germany and 60 per cent in the USA. You must use all oan c 1 your energy so that tomorrow there is only 10 per cent of weak- headed people who would agree to perform violent actions ordered by a political and military hierarchy. Those who killed Jesus did it in all serenity. They were not responsible; they were only following orders. Pontius Pilate himself refused to endorse the responsibility for this crime, and he “washed his hands” of the whole mess. He allowed the fanatics conditioned by 1 tae os wet 1 00 ‘cor we towd the rabbis, just like the SS, to crucify Jesus. If we were to ask all those people if they feel responsible, none of them probably would. They would all “wash their hands” like the Romans did. The rabbis would claim that they followed the law and a chief, the fanatics as well, and so perhaps we could hold one person responsible, even though the whole of the population were the ones who committed the crime, the crime of not intervening to prevent the assassination of an innocent man. Those who sent the first Christians to the lion’s den were also only following orders. Those who burnt the witches, those who martyred the protestants, as well as the Nazis at Auschwitz were also only following orders, as was the pilot of the plane carrying the bomb over 320 INTELLIGENT DESIGN: MESSAGE FROM THE DESIGNERS
