Ok, first off, Jewish people were pogrommed and holocausted "because they killed Jesus" - religious reason.
ROTFL. You seriously believe the ****s where RELIGIOUS PEOPLE ?!?!?!?!? ROTFL.
Again - check your facts, my friend.
http://en.wikipedia....ecution_of_JewsPrior to WWII, Germany was not only in an economic crisis but also a political struggle between various political parties. The struggle between these parties often played out in open brawls on the streets of cities. Two of these parties dominated the struggle: the **** party and the Communist party. The 13 leaders of the German Communist party were all Jewish. The German people were even more afraid of communism infecting their country than western democracies were and communism became synonymous with Judaism. The **** leadership had a largely Christian background (people such as Hitler, Himmler, Goebbels and Höß were Roman Catholic apostates[17]), and a large majority of the German population were Christian. Some Christians blamed Jews for the murder of Jesus, deicide. The combination of communism, deicide, racism, and the many other problems Jewish people were made the scapegoat for, aligned the ****s and many non-**** Germans against the Jews in a deadly way. A key proponent of such [antisemitism was the propagandistUlrich Fleischhauer who operated internationally through the notorious Welt-Dienst (World-Service) media operation based in Erfurt, Germany.http://www.religious...rg/jud_pers.htmQuotations:
"**** anti-Judaism was the work of godless, anti-Christian
criminals. But it would not have been possible without the almost two thousand years'
pre-history of 'Christian' anti-Judaism..." Hans Küng 1
"The Jews are a nervous people. Nineteen centuries of Christian
love have taken a toll." Benjamin Disraeli
"Only in our remembrance and open discussion is there a chance, a hope, that
another Holocaust will never happen." Louis Weber, publisher of "The Holocaust Chronicle" [b]2
Disclaimer:
The following essay lists many mass murders of Jews by both ancient Romans and by Christians, during the period 70 to 1946 CE. We do not wish to imply that the descendants of the Romans (the present-day Italians) and/or modern Christians advocate the extermination of Jews. We do not imply that Christians today are responsible for actions by their spiritual ancestors in past centuries. Many might disagree with us. But it is our belief is that it is illogical and immoral to hold an individual responsible for events that occurred before they were born.
However, continual past attempts at Jewish extermination are a fact of history. They need to be closely examined and understood by everyone, in order to prevent future religiously based genocides and mass crimes against humanity. Otherwise, there is no hope for the future.
The religious intolerance and racism that were responsible for the deaths of millions of Jews in the past differ little in principle from the emotions that caused incidents of mass murder, crimes against humanity, and
genocide in the late 1990s.
For example:
The mass murder of Muslims by Christians in Kosovo.
bullet The genocides and mass murders by Muslims, Roman Catholics, and Serbian Orthodox followers against each other in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
bullet The extermination of one third of the Roman Catholic inhabitants of East Timor by Muslims. 1 - Uganda's population is over 80% Christian, with over 40% being Roman Catholic.
Then I dont understand at all why they would want to murder homosexuals. This isnt supported by the bible.
Yes, I know you don't understand. Honestly, I don't understand the reasoning either - but The Family (an evangelical Christian organization, with many powerful politicians as members) has a branch in Uganda influencing their politics with their religious trash teachings (NOTE - I'm not saying religions are trash, but the teachings of The Family would NOT be recognizable to most Christians.)
They are being influenced by groups from America that teach that homosexuality is a choice, and that people can choose to be cured of it. That teaching, couple with the absolutely false teaching that homosexuals molest children at an alarmingly higher rate than heterosexuals, supports Uganda's law being proposed. That, and blaming AIDS spreading again on gays and not on abstinence only programs and American Christian influences doing away with the very successful condom programs in Uganda.
In their hearts, what most Christians believe their religion is about, what they hold to be their heartfelt beliefs, would never agree with such intolerant and violent acts. Regardless, these things are being done IN THE NAME OF Christianity.
AND - if we continue this discussion any further here this thread will be locked, if it is not already doomed. Sorry everyone. I'll stop here.
Gecon, you want to discuss this further, PM's are probably the way to go.
