The Decadence of the Germans

When the environment of nature is mean and punishes you for making mistakes, God takes on the form of the God of nasty justice. That crafts you into a savage being that makes you bad, that makes you mean. But that makes you also civilized, in a sense. And this is fundamentally what un-nuts it, what en-roots it. The Israelites would have a clear conscious about the violence that is necessary because coming from the realm of nature where violence is omnipresent,. they would understand how violence works.
