BELLFLOWER, CALIFORNIA (ANS) -- Ray Comfort, the noted author and apologist, started to make a video about Hitler’s religion when he suddenly realized he found a powerful tool to alter people’s minds about abortion. He abruptly changed the direction of his project, which led to a new video he calls “180.” That video has since gone viral, with nearly 1.5 million views on the internet.

It began as a book project for World Net Daily called “Hitler, God, and the Bible,” which was to include a video about Hitler’s faith – or lack of it.
“I went on the streets and talked to people about Hitler and came back horrified that I had 14 interviews with people who never heard of Hitler,” Comfort says. Comfort is the founder of Living Water Publications. He also co-hosts (with Kirk Cameron) the television program “The Way of the Master,” which airs in 70 countries.
Comfort mostly interviewed college students on the streets of Southern California . In his interviews depicted in the film, he described a historical incident from World War II when the Nazis shot 300 Jewish people and threw them in a large pit. Then the soldiers used bulldozers to bury the Jews, many of whom were still alive.
“If you were at the point of a Nazi gun, would you drive the bulldozer forward to bury people?” he asked young people in the streets.
“I could never do that,” many replied.
“Why? Do you value human life?” he asked.
If they answered affirmatively, Comfort then asked how they felt about abortion. Many told him they think it’s a woman’s choice, parroting the position of the dominant media and educational establishment.
“Do you think it’s a baby in the womb?” he asked.
If they answered yes, Comfort proceeded to ask a question that caused them to change their minds from being adamantly pro-abortion to pro-life in a matter of seconds.
