Many Thanks, Jay of Melbourne for the Information, not so truly Christian, as any good Christian should inform you.

Must say as a really aging Mature Age historian, the above has been worrying me very much so in the last couple of years.

Very especially now while noting the arrogance of Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders, easily making Hillary Clinton look half lost.

I and many other academic philosophers do fear that if the above situation is not remedied within the next few years, Western historical consciousness plus democratic consciousness, could be faced with something making Nazism look like a Sunday picnic.

Though there has lately been a saying that Israel with its present aggressive attitude will most likely be the loser, one right now may well ask for further opinions?

'The leftist websites don't ad's and articles about killing people'
No they just promote the mother's right to have her unborn killed. PLease give us a break.

I don't think we just need to go to the American Christian right ideology to find worrying signs of problems caused by religions.

Mainstream church leaders such as the Pope can provide some modern day examples of how not to have lived a good 'Christian" life.

Here we have an elected religious leader of many Catholics around the world who failed to act after it was reported to him that a US Priest was accused of sexually abusing 200 deaf children in the 1970's.

This Priest committed his sins while 'absolving' the deaf children of their sins in the confessional.

The then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger did not sack the priest, but rather moved him on to another area in the priesthood.
This paedophile then went on to a free life while his victims spent a lifetime of sorrow and mental anguish because of his actions.

The Pope should be sacked now because of his inaction after this Priest was reported to him.
The stench of child abuse pervades this religion like no other.

Even older people seem to forget how a Christian nation like Germany backed Hitler, Christian churches operating during his reign.

In fact it was the German philosopher Hegel who was Christian, and even though right wing, was Karl Marx's tutor for a time.

A good tutor and promotor, Hegel even had strong influence on American people.

Also possibly on Australian students, for many years ago in the 1930's, I read an article from an Australian girl student who fully backed the young Hitler, her article gaining top marks from her tutor.

Possibly our older universities could have some of these in stock.

It is interesting also in later years how students from the earlier US Born Again groups were said to be acting more like Nazi Stormtroopers than just normal students.

Thus it might be a good idea to teach young students how right wing publicity can turn out even more socially dangerous than left-wing.

Certainly middle of the road literature is the most safest, even though said to be the most boring.

Right Wing thinking can turn out AS disastrously as Left Wing, the Nazi atrocities were techniques that the Soviets had perfected and used for years, in fact people sometimes mistakenly use pictures from the Holodomor to illustrate articles about the Holocaust.
We're long past that stage though.
We do have vestiges of the strictly dialectical points of view at the fringes but we're living under Third Positionists at present.
That's even more worrying because they come at us from all angles, they use Maoist political correctness, mixed with religious conservatism, and elements of Marxist Socialism and Libertarian capitalism.
A fourth position exists but it's largely paralysed, trying to decide what it's against rather than what it stands for.
So a fifth position is needed, as bewildering as that sounds, one that will use any means necessary and run right up to the limits of acceptable speech and action, disregard all Taboos and safe zones in order to gain the best outcome for Western society.

The "Religious Left?"

Who would they be?
"Family Second" perhaps, and what Biblical fundamentalist views would they hold?

That - plus tying in global warming - seems like a Reich Wing distraction from the real issue.
