I once had (I moved away), a couple of Jewish friends, one was the son of a Jewish prisoner and a Nazi lieutenant, (whom my friend never met, his own "father"), in the Austrian Army. He became a member of the Mossad, and related to me a few of their operations in the Middle East, for one of his escapades, he ended up in a British jail, as the Israeli government would never acknowledge any involvement. There, he met who would become his partner, in a future endeavor; I met them both at a later time. The second man had a tattoo from the Auschwitz concentration camp; I was deeply impressed by this man casualness about the whole thing and would never speak of the time in that terrible place
I have always had a great respect for the Jewish people as they seem to truly stick together, and do not whine, as many other people do, about their misfortunes, they simply meet their challenges and learn to overcome difficulty, (and quite effectively I may add).
Lately I have been exposed to the true character of the so-called "religious extremists", right here in this USA. In my opinion, if there is a potential for trouble, here is the source. These intolerant bastards are more dangerous than a pack of rabid dogs. The rubbish that they preach and further that they are attempting to push in the entire American system of education is frightening.
The problem is that slowly they seem to be having a limited success amongst their own children (logically), and those of weaker minds who are willing listeners, it is indeed a serious problem.
If you think I am exaggerating, simply remember Oklahoma City, the bomb was not planned in the Middle East by a rabid Muslim zealot, it was all "home made" right here, by an equally "rabid (home grown) zealot".
Emile Vidrine is a prime example of what these damned zealots are all about. Personally, I can not see nor consider these people as jokes, I consider them dangerous, in fact, extremely dangerous.
Their rhetoric of "love" and "kindness" is absolute unadulterated cacarazzi. No different than radical propaganda.
The deeds of the religious crews throughout different times in history, from ancient times, (once religious power became considerable, i.e the Popes etc.) through the Crusades, the Inquisition, and lately Northern Ireland and the Middle East, etc. is clear evidence of what these people are perfectly capable of doing and causing.
All in the name of god...... as in "Let me cut-off your head, of course, in the name of god" (because you do not agree with my intolerant beliefs.)
I wonder if people understand how the Church of England was started, (a mere disagreement between all mighty Roman Pope, and a capricious King who wanted to er.... dispose, oops, excuse me, divorce one of his beloved wives.
Similar thing with the Lutheran Church, except there was no women involved in this one, essentially all "matters" of this (very mundane, and materialistic) world. (such as power, control, possesions and matters of governments).
And come to think of it, the treatment of women by these religious Overlords, is at best, equal to treating them a tad better than animals. As in "Promise Keepers"..... another "kinder and love filled bunch of maniacs".... Hey wench! bring me my beer, I am your all mighty Supremo, and I own you !!
Let us not forget the Middle East, where there are "Holy" wars....
Let me mow you down with my Uzi... oh but it is in the name of god (or ala, as applicable), so I guess that makes it o.k. (they may also use a bomb and blow themselves to pieces, along with hundreds of innocent children, etc... but hey ! that is o.k. it is in the name of "ala"
What about the Spanish inquisition, who served as prosecutor, jury, and judge for hundreds of years, and indeed instrumental in the elimination, or masked slavery of the American Natives in most of Latin America, however, all this time, they were "equal" in the eyes of god, however, slightly different in the eyes of the local bishop and or local viceroy..... yet, yes, yes, I know, they were "preaching" and "distributing" the Bible, Evangelios, and indoctrinating the "indiorantes".... (and killing a few in the process, of course, all in the name of the "savior").
What remarkable coincidence that the main "virgin" deity (as in "Virgen de Guadalupe") in Mexico, "happens" to be of the same skin color as the locals... conveniently arranged by the local "Cacique"
It is almost "magic" that it is a woman, who is "La Patrona de todo M‚xico", and at the same time "La Chingada" enjoys somehow a similar important status, as the "Mother" of all Mexicans..... Must be some kind of cult, carefully exploited by those in power, as in a suspicious Conspiracy, of SI stature....
Same thing with the main "saint" in Lima.....Mart¡n de Porres...
In the mean time we Atheists,(mostly libertarian and peaceful Earthlings), are "threatened" with promptly being sent to the basement of hell, by the mere fact that we dare express our disbelief in something or someone that I have never met, nor apparently I am about to, because he does not exist. They also call us Atheists, "Satan Worshipers"..... the problem with that thesis is since I do not believe in any god, like wise I do not believe in the so call evil Satans or demons or whatever.... (I guess the mm are the exception to the existence of demonic beings, he, he, he....), so who am I going to "worship", besides, I do not like o do that, I do not like to be a vassal to anybody.
The neo-Nazis of late is a warning sign that the holocaust can be repeated all over again, and right here, in the land of the free.
They spout all this rubbish about "Christianity" and the love of J.C. etc. etc., all the while they attempt to bend and brain wash one's mind into forcing down one's throat their belief, and if one does not conform to their beliefs, then watch out. And that is assuming one is a "whitey".... because if you have a little bit of olive skin, or black, or whatever..... one is "disposable by definition".
What I will never get is that I understood that J.C. "Da Man" was Jewish... nicht war ?, yet these neo-Nazis hate all the Jewish people... now, that's confusing !! To me, this sounds a little like these guys are a bunch of trigger happy rabid maniacs that are grasping for a way to recruit and brain wash a bunch of conscripts for their own "Holy War" no, Panchito ?
I have never been able to understand, why, why, why, can they be satisfied in praying all they want, in their churches, homes, even in silence, and keeping it to themselves, if they believe in the "sacred frog" or whatever the hell deity they so much desire to worship then fine, I am perfectly willing to leave them alone, but noooooooooooo, they have to come out and force others into their gods, spirits, salvation, and the rest of their garbage.
I wonder what compells them to force their beliefs on others?? why can they not accept that there may be certain other beliefs that simply do not agree with them....?
The amazing thing is that they have absolutely no proof of their divine beliefs, yet people, (as the morons that they are), believe these fantasy stories. Talk about the perfect Penny Stock story !!
I guess this helps explain the origin and success of the Penny Stock Market.
Yes, indeed the war is over, and we should move on to improve relationships amongst we humans of all backgrounds at all times.
However, one must always keep an open eye to the likes of the Neo-Nazis and religious extremist, these are the real enemies of human kind.
This forum indeed should be promoted in other countries, it would only enrich the wealth of the exchange of ideas that is possible. As for the Emiles of the world, while in a sense, indeed they are morons, never forget that what they are capable of doing, and that is no joke !

"So long as theologians keep within their proper bounds, science has no quarrel with them, for it is no more able to prove that they are wrong then they themselves are able to prove that they are right. But human experience shows that they never keep within their proper bounds voluntarily; they are always bulging over the line, and making a great uproar over things that they know nothing about."
