Comment on Does anyone struggle with spending money foolishly on prostitutes?

So if nazis were to take over and start making these horrible morals, and people follow them, it’ll be okay?

Depends on who you ask. If you ask the Nazis they’ll say it’s ok. The people they took over would probably disagree.

So who do you believe? Who do you listen to?
I believe that man is made in the image of God, and the Nazi’s treatment of people degrading them as livestock was deeply blasphemous, cruel and immoral. They did not love God with all of their heart and did not love their neighbour as themselves. So I conclude that the Nazis were evil and anyone today who continues to sympathise with them is evil.

That is really up to you. Whomever your personal morals align with the most. Or don’t listen to anyone and just rely on your own morals.
Basing your morals on “god” is just kicking the can down the road. First of all … which god? There is hundreds of them. And even if people agree on the god, they disagree on the interpretation of the morals. So you’re still left with the questions “So who do you believe? Who do you listen to?”.
