Oh, I'm sure you know. The man is obviously familiar with Mein Kampf, I'm sure he's got a solution, one with some Finality, probably.

People like this guy disgust me. Equating an act love done with religious reasoning as immoral, yet to "rid humanity of evil", I'm sure the end will justify the means, right?
