It is right for Hitler to slaughter Jewish women and children anytime he pleases. Hitler gives life and he takes life. Hitler is taking life every day. Life is in Hitler's hand. Hitler decides when their last heartbeat will be. Hitler rules and governs everything, and everything he does is just and right and good.
Oh wait. My mistake. It wasn't a Nazi talking about Hitler and the Holocaust, it was a Christian talking about his genocidal God.

Here is the transcript from a program broadcast on February 27, 2010, where the interviewer asked John Piper,
Why was it right for God to slaughter women and children in the Old Testament? How can that ever be right?
And Piper answered:
It's right for God to slaughter women and children anytime he pleases. God gives life and he takes life. Everybody who dies, dies because God wills that they die so God is taking life every day. He will take 50,000 lives today. Life is in God's hand. God decides when your last heartbeat will be, and whether it ends through cancer or whether it ends through a bullet wound. God governs. So God is God! God rules and governs everything. And everything he does is just and right and good. God owes us nothing.
Here's the video:
(where Piper has a lot more to say on the subject)
Remember, you can't be moral without God!
