runner,
Kindly please explain the "ignorant' part of that sentence.

Runner: Herr Goebbels was a devout Christian as was his wife Frau Goebbels and indeed many of the Nazi death camp commandants and guards. And almost every paedophile priest for the last 17 centuries, who by now number in the thousands.

And let's not forget how many homosexual priests there are now taking holy orders and wearing frocks? And presuming to advise on happily married heterosexual life and the joys of procreation?

There is so much ultra-pious, pulpit-pounding hypocrisy inside religious organisations and still a certain amount of barely veiled antisemitism.

No pious hypocrisy, more self-evident, than when John Howard or Tony Abbott get up there to read the lesson for today.

None of it consistent with the good Samaritan parable or golden rule (do unto others) code for living.

As always with religious fanatics, facts matter not, nor irrefutable evidence or indeed the almighty truth, wherever that conflicts with their rusted on belief system.

I mean, Rome sort to have Gallilao excommunicated for daring to suggest, planet earth was not only not at the centre of the universe, but that we and the other planets revolved around the sun.

A little over fifty years ago some Saudi Imams could order your decapitation for daring to suggest the world was round?

One doesn't need to go back very far in history to understand that the church has truly become a sty in the eye of God and inherently evil.

With sword-wielding Bishops and Popes at the head of blood lusting armies putting the disbelievers to death/committing murder in God's name.

Today the same inherently evil cohort are up front and loud in their condemnation of God created difference and seek to deprive others of rights they, like Nazi, Herr Goebbels, take as a given for themselves!

I rest my case

The slightest look at the history of God deniers makes even the corrupt Catholic church look mild. Today's feminist Marxist are every bit as evil as Hitler. The teachings of Jesus was the most civilising factor in history on this planet. Remove your Christophobic blindfold and try a little honesty. Then again without God you have no compass except through your sinful corrupt eye

<Why is it I ask that the Jews have been 'on the nose' for centuries?
I think a hint was given earlier in this topic.
They have demonstrated that they are much more focused in succeeding economically than most other races, and they have backed some of the most heinous crimes in history. >

I know that in politics the discussion can get quite heated, but that statement ruffles against my western sensibilities. Are you claiming that Jews as a race are more prone to criminal acts? Although I would disagree with your view, I think it better to live in a society with a western values and a Judeo-Christian heritage, where such views can be expressed and debated in a forum of civility.

I feel that my understanding of the world could be expanded by another university course. Specifically, I am somewhat dumbfounded by the claim that socialism has not yet been tried as a form of government. Apparently all those failed "socialist" regimes with legacies of humanitarian and economic disaster were not socialist at all. Clearly I am in need of an education to explain what true socialism is and why none of these failed states satisfy the definition. I guess that Animal Farm and 1984 weren't socialist either.

'Herr Goebbels was a devout Christian as was his wife Frau Goebbels and indeed many of the Nazi death camp commandants and guards. '

yeah Alan I am sure they were following the teachings of Jesus just like paedophile priest. Are you incapable of thinking? Or is your hatred lead you only to 'history' sources that confirm your bigotry.

Have to laugh. The people who hate Christianity the most go ballistic because people calling themselves Christians don't act like Christians. Does that mean that the Christianophobes really think that everyone should be acting like Christians?
