Hitler fell in love with his niece, Geli Raubal. Eleanor Roosevelt was FDR's cousin. Hitler's parents were second cousins and had to get an episcopal dispensation for their marriage.

Well Hitler was evil because he was responsible for killing millions of innocent people. As for affairs with relatives...i don't think that he could get much more evil

As mentioned, FDR and Eleanor were 2nd cousins and their marriage was perfectly legal. The question of evil stems from Hitler's worldview that history is a struggle between "races", that the German "race" was superior, and those considered inferior needed to eliminated, thus resulting in the mass murder of 6 million European Jews, and 6-8 million others considered "unworthy of life", such as the disabled, Slavic peoples, political prisioners, religious dissenters, etc.

Cousin doesn't mean necessarily first cousins. FDR and Eleanor were distant cousins. It's not a big deal. It certainly doesn't make FDR evil.
Hitler falling in love with his niece- well, that's just weird. But that doesn't make him evil either. His other actions made him evil.

Hitler was evil because he was.
You have to keep in mind the time frame as well.
If I'm not mistaken FDR & Eleanor were 2nd cousins. That is still perfectly acceptable... kinda gross to me, but perfectly acceptable. But it would have been alright then even if they were first cousins. That's the way it was.

there was a time and place when relationships with relatives was more common place than not. I cannot judge someone for this because a lot of things need to be known before you can and even then we are not the ones to do the judging.

What do you use to determine what is evil and what is not? Is marrying a relative EVIL? -- or perhaps just a bad choice?

Seeing as how you're so interested in incest I get the feeling you've partaken a time or two in the act of "in house" *** raping yourself.
