Patty Jr.....So Hitler was a devout Christian.....and pigs might fly......it only goes to show that you haven't a clue.....in fact, Hitler loathed Christianity and saw it as a Jewish product (well, Jesus was a Jew). Now, you must do your homework better than that. You mention Pol Pot and Stalin (from your side of the fence).....you left Mao out (are you ashamed of him?) but then you go off on to something else.....what about them, after all, they're your mates? You then mention the Catholic Church turning its back on the Jews during WW2. Read Rabbi David Dalin's latest book.....you might learn the truth.....then again, you might be impervious to the truth for there are none so blind as those who will not see. Anyway, the evil and brurality of your satanic mates: Hitler, Stalin, Mao etc is not something that I would be proud of.

Francis, I guess it depends on which biography you read and believe. There are many versions of the truth in print everywhere. I've read versions of Hitlers years where he would covet and use Christian symbols as a way to focus his personal power. To say he was a strange man is an understatement. As for the other murderous dictators you mention, I have no affiliation with any of them.
My personal beliefs are personal. Satanic Feminist is a label I've chosen because in my experience any one who asks to many questions of religious peoples are labeled as evil. Any one who does not go along to get along is labeled evil. Any woman who does not accept the authority of the church and man is a whore. I am an individual. A thinking human being capable of making up my own mind about what I see and experience. I do not need to get my thinking handed to me by any religious institutions. You will know a person by their actions in the world, not by the label on their back. I believe this is a Christ like idea. Yet you chose to react to my label and lump me in with murderous dictators. Gee That's not very Christian of you. Oh, wait, based on my posts on this forum, yes it is. It is ludicrous to argue about dogma and rewritten history. Irfan chose to call homeless mental patients, Saints. I have also served the homeless and rubbed elbows with the Saints. It's not something I go around bragging about. If the world eventually goes to hell. You'll want a Satanic Feminist fighting by your side against tyranny. It's people like me who are capable of making the tough decisions and carrying the burden of those decisions. Posted by Patty Jr. Satanic Feminist, Saturday, 22 April 2006 1:22:43 AM

Patty,
You chose the title "Satanic".....not me........so don't get upset when you are seen as a fellow traveller with other satanic individuals. You obviously haven't read much about Hitler or, rather, what Hitler himself believed and said....particularly in his later years. A truly satanic individual in the real and in sense of the word too. Your second paragraph might indicate some delusion opr paranoia on your part. Your third para seems to indicate that you don't like to be challenged.....perhaps you like to dish it out but not take it. Perhaps your definition of a Christian needs some revision. Your final paras are somewhat strange to say the least. Posted by Francis, Saturday, 22 April 2006 12:17:53 PM

Francis, I guess what we have here is a failure to communicate. There are many people who choose provocative labels for themselves. It is unfortunate that you single out the Satanic Feminist for vilification. You also choose to get personal in your comments. That too is unfortunate. So in the effort of keeping peace I agree that yes I have a lot to learn. I will then refrain from personally attacking you, thereby extending you the Christian charity that you deny your enemies. If you do not understand my comments, I can't help you there. We do not always understand everything. Sometimes it's our myopic vision of the world that prevents understanding.

Satanic Feminist......if you see my comments as "getting personal" then, I'm afraid, that is what you wish to see as is your belief that I was personally attacking you. Don't forget, you were vilifying Christians, particularly Catholics (the world's largest non-governemnt welfare agency) etc (refer your e-mail 21 April). You also came up with the un-truth that the Catholic Church turned its back on the Jews in WW2.....my reply was that the truth is otherwise so refer to Rabbi David Dalins latest book on how the Catholic Church saved Jews (it did more than all others combined) and refer to Rabbi Zolli's book.....Rabbi Zolli was chief Rabbi of Rome during WW2 and, after the war, he and his wife became Catholics because they saw what the Church did to protect and save Jews. Needless to say, these realities will never feature inthe media.

Francis, just a couple of links to emphasize my point, there is a lot of truth out there, we all choose what we believe. http://www.nobeliefs.com/Hitler/htm, http://www.holocaust-history.org/questions/catholic.shtml
Yes, I attack all religions, especially where those beliefs are the cause of war. If you feel you have to kill another human, rather than let them have their own belief system, then you are a problem for the rest of us. It fascinates me that Christians will not aknowledge the death and destruction that their beliefs have brought to the world. Posted by Patty Jr. Satanic Feminist, Sunday, 23 April 2006 1:38:28 PM
