I rarely defend myself against pagans because I expect pagans to lie and exaggerate, but this time I gave in to temptation. So, in the future, I would appreciate it if you stuck to the truth. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black... Not long ago I quoted from H.L. Mencken in a post. You triumphantly concluded that since Mencken wrote a book about Nietzche, and since the Nazis adopted that miniscule fragment of Nietzche's thought which their pathetic excuses for minds were able to comprehend, my quote from Mencken could be taken as grounds to assume that I have Nazi sympathies. Christine, having read numerous posts of yours in which you speak of Jews and Judaism with an uncommonly ridiculous degree of disparagement and hysterical paranoia, not surprisingly concludes that you hate Jews. You burst out in righteous wrath, saying that you have been lied about. Remember that old saying about people in glass houses throwing stones? Saying that you love Jews but hate Judaism is stupid and absurd. A question, O enlightened one: You say that your particular Christian sect (which I don't believe you have ever identified) is in sole possession of The Truth. Many other sects, both Christian and otherwise, make the same claim, which is necessarily exclusive: if you are right, all of them must be wrong, and if even one of them is right, you must be wrong. Can you cite a single shred of objective evidence that suggests that you are right and everybody else is wrong? Or will you give the same answer that the rest of them give: you gotta believe. From Robert Ingersoll: "The originality of repetition, and the mental vigor of acquiescence, are all that we have any right to expect from the Christian world." That is what is called a thought. May we have some of yours? Original ones, please? Steve
