The Nazis, Ymach Shemam, once when destroying a sinagogue made a cruel but interesting experiment. They wanted to know if Judaism was a culture or something the Jews had in their blood. So they picked an atheist Jew, who was also a gagnster and criminal who hated the Jews and their Torah. They took him to the sinagogue, opened the Holy Ark, took the Sefer Torah and put it in front of him, pointed a pistol at his head and ordered him to spit on it. When he saw the Torah, he said " I have done many things in my life, this one I shall not do, better kill me"
