    It's......THE BISHOP!!

    Let me get this straight....

    This guy believes all sorts of improbable, unprovable stuff that contradicts science and common sense, because it's in a book written thousands of years ago - often centuries after the events happened.

    BUT

    He doesn't believe in the organized extermination of millions of people less than 75 years ago, despite the incredible amount of evidence easily available - including the accounts of eyewitnesses.

    And this guy has a position of authority? A job as hireling clergy?
