I called in my personal physician, Dr. Bynacker, a horse doctor, and he told me it was practically the same thing as 'running fits' in dogs and caused in the same way. . . . Then it was the sunlight of understanding flooded my soul, and I knew exactly what caused Bilbo's tantrums. I remembered, as you remember, that he was living on a diet of sardines and crackers and cheese until we elected him to the Senate with a salary of $10,000 a year and immediately he took up his abode...

Goebbels: "Positive Christianity is humanitarian service . . . Christ himself would discover more of His teaching in what we [lay Nazis] are doing than in [the Church's] theological hair-splitting." Göring (in a speech abusing the Church): "We [Nazis] have informed the Church that we stand on the basis of positive Christianity."
