PS II Maybe, as I´m commenting on this one blog entry anyway, I should take the opportunity to just get a few things right....
1. Even American secret services did take North Korea serious, as they said in the news.... they´re simply not sure what exactly that dictator possesses, but they seem to know THAT he does.
2. Hitler was NO Christian. He was probably christened, as an Austrian at that time. But he confessed a man named Georg Schönerer as his hero; who demanded getting rid of the Jews and racial segregation, and an ethnic-racist German culture "as a substitute for Catholic Christianity". And Hitler even had new "Christmas songs" written which had no relation to Christmas anymore but praised his ideology of motherhood etc. Doesn´t really sound like a Christian to me.
Stalin, by the way, even was a candidate for priesthood...Being a Christian once doesn´t mean being it your whole life.
Dear Ronnie, yes, I have read "Fear" and also all those comments - at least up to my own last one. As you know I´m open for discussion in general and I consider it completely okay if people disagree with me, but that´s always a matter of style. If debates can´t be done in a civilized manner, then I don´t have any sense in having them.
Religion is not the only topic where it seems you can´t discuss with most people - the death penalty, for example, is another one. I have no idea why people start getting aggressive against others who "dare" not to follow their arguments...Is it a feeling of power when they´re trying to insult the other one? Or is it a painful experience they had in the past?
Why do some people feel the need to come with arguments like that spelling of Korea? THAT was indeed a "crappy argument"... On the other hand, me saying I wouldn´t change my mind about faith was no argument at all, it was just a statement of fact. ;-)
Well, no matter...I for my part never needed to call others "whatever-bashing idiots" and I never will. In fact, among my friends, there are more atheists than Christians and my best friend, as you know, is gay (just to say; as it was one accusation against religion that it says homosexuality is wrong). A little funny is, obviously those words were meant to prove faith wrong....in my eyes, they did exactly the opposite. How often did Jesus tell his followers the world would hate, attack, slander them...? (And in my case, it´s not only people who are against religion that do that, but also strictly conservative Christians. Did you know that, considered exactly, I´m excommunicated because I don´t believe that women shouldn´t be priests?)
Well....I told you I wouldn´t follow your blog any more. I made an exception here...but no more in the future. And PS: The one who finds mistakes in my spelling and grammar may keep them. ;-)
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post, and I'm sorry for your loss. Even if you'd lost touch with her, something so sudden and inexplicable is never easy to take.
