My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. ...Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross. ...
- Adolf Hitler, speech on April 12, 1922
Hitler had command of christian theology and never denounced his faith. He justified his hatred of the jews with his theology and justified the holocaust by proclaiming the jews were "liberals" and "evil". We participate in the same rationalization today as a nation who invaded "evildoers" as Bush was remembered as saying. We killed 1 to 2 million Iraqui's and destroyed their electrical grids and water systems because they were "evildoers". Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi nation were accused of threatening to use weapons of mass destruction, which we now know never existed. Hitler justified the holocaust as eliminating the "evil" jews and we justify war by eliminating muslims in a genocide and war of tyranny and terror upon the populations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Fallujah will never be free of depleted uranium. It is a place of birth defects and cancer and illness from our weapons foisted upon them. The current wars are not condemned by the church or the american population, even though they are creating a deficit that we will never recover from. Bush could never have taken the nation to war if the church and "evangelicals" were to have vehemently opposed him. Hitler could never have carried out the holocaust if the german church and the catholic church would have stood up for the jews. This is just a fact.

Death penalty for homosexuality
""'If a man lies with a male, as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
Author: Leviticus 20 Verses #: 13
At some point I plan to list and discuss all the things listed in Levitical law that are an abomination to Yahweh. It will take the better part of a month. Eating insects, snakes, reptiles, fish with fins, shellfish, etc. are all abominations. There are also many laws pertaining to when to eat or not eat flesh that has been sacrificied to Yahweh. Levitical law does not follow logic. Mankind has been eating shrimp for thousands of years as a very desirable source of protein and yet it is forbidden, as is pork.
As long as mankind has walked the earth there have been men who are not attracted to women and women who are not attracted sexually to men. They have been forced into unsatisfying relationships for thousands of years. The catholic church condones single male priests living together but condemns homosexuality. Likewise, women living in community as nuns is celebrated while homosexuality is condemned. Obviously, a large number of these cloistered individuals are not attracted to the opposite sex and a heterosexual lifestyle experience and are celebrated and elevated, while practicing homosexuals are condemned to hell in the least and to death in some parts of the world.
Compassion and love of fellow man would dictate allowing people to follow their hearts. Denying people loving lifelong partners is a cruel imposition of one's belief and biases over another's happiness.
Putting people to death for acknowledging their natural attraction for their same sex is barbaric. Our future as a human race cannot be filled with barbarism and bigotism and hatred for homosexuals. Homosexuals deserve laws that protect them and embrace their uniqueness. They hurt no one, and in fact often show us how to have the courage to live in peace and happiness despite social prejudice.
