Holocaust Denial

<p>tkl,</p>

<p>You should check out the documentary called “Mr. Death”</p>

<p>I thought the Flat Earth Society was a parody until this thread prompted me to look it up. Apparently its members really do believe that the Earth is flat, and go to great lengths to prove it. Wow.</p>

<p>But Holocaust deniers aren’t just misguided; they malicious. Their intent is to hurt others by denying even the satisfaction of acknowledgment that they’ve suffered. It’s a kind of passive violence, if you will.</p>

<p>Anyone know if Fred Lechteur (sp?) is still in prison?</p>

<p>Oy. As someone who is the descendant of a Holocaust survivor (and at least 1/4 of my family died in the Holocaust) I cannot stomach people like this. End of story.</p>

<p>The fine print on the Flat Earth Society home page: </p>

<p>I think that it’s a parody lol.</p>

<p>If you are wondering why people believe in some absurd fantasy, just ask yourself, what do they gain from that belief? And what would they lose if they admitted that the opposite were true?</p>

<p>I think that the answers are pretty obvious in this case.</p>

<p>Post above on flat earth society/creationism got me thinking about this Ohio school that actually teaches and awards degree based on creationism</p>

<p>B.S. in Geology</p>

<p>Cedarville’s Bachelor of Science degree in geology provides a core of classes that prepares students for graduate studies or employment in a wide variety of geological fields. The program is unique in that no other Christian university that holds to a literal six-day account of Genesis offers geology as a major for undergraduates. </p>

<p>I certainly hope so. The whole idea is ridiculous. Then again, people say the same thing about the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.</p>

<p>From the Cedarville website:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah, right. Just don’t ask how any of it got there. What a joke. How these people claim to be “educators” with a straight face is beyond me.</p>

<p>The ironic thing is that some particularly hateful groups and individuals who deny the Holocaust then turn around and in the next breath advocate for implementing something akin to it today. They deny that Jews were mistreated in the 1940s but would love to see them extirpated from our society today. Incredible.</p>

<p>^^^ Nice point, coureur.</p>

32

<p>Equating creationism with holocaust denial is offensive, petty, and frankly ignorant. Pick another forum (or at least another topic) to spew your anti-religious beliefs.</p>

<p>Who said anything about religion? I’m anti-stupidity.</p>
