What's on your mind?

I'm legitimately shocked. There was an article on Yahoo about a trinket found in Poland that might be connected to Anne Frank. Just reading the comments, I couldn't believe how many people simply believe that the Holocaust never happened or was a lie created by the Jews to gain sympathy. Many more think that Anne Frank herself wasn't real or that her diary is a fraud.

There's a large group of people online that just like to hate on Jews. They blame Jews for everything wrong in the world, believe everything that comes from them is lies, etc. etc. A majority of them claim to be Christian as well.
I'd like to say it's only online, but life has shown me there's a whole lot of antisemitism in the world period.

It's no wonder they're so wary of Christians... look at what people who claim to be Christian have done and do to them... very angering.

Yep, that's propaganda for you. I learned about Anne Frank in school where that was a part of history class.

Yeah, Canadian schools are big on holocaust education, or used to be when I was in them anyway. It's a fundamental part of learning about the world in my opinion, Nazi Germany was a prime example of what evil looks like and will forever be stamped as such. I instantly lack trust of people who sympathize with the Nazis or who believe the holocaust was a lie and such.

This is why I want to homeschool my future children. There's so much they don't teach in schools these days.

Yeah, I don't think they are being taught that anymore, at least in some schools here they aren't. It's becoming something that is being considered a myth.

It's the attitude of kids in general. When I was in high school, we actually had a Holocaust survivor come to visit and talk with us about her experiences. It was our job to make a video for her that would play before the presentation. When we first started the project, we made inappropriate jokes and laughed. I wasn't a Christian then and it was one of those things were we went along with everyone else.

But as the project went on, the joking stopped. We were humbled. When you hear the Holocaust or read about it in school, you don't really pay attention to it. As an adult, I get tears in my eyes watching shows about World War 2, seeing what the Jews and others went through.

Recently, I learned that Hitler gave his soldiers meth so they would be some sort of 'super soldier' and not feel pain. Even in areas like Russia, they didn't bother with having them dress warm, but just gave them meth so they wouldn't feel the pain, even as body parts were falling off of them due to frostbite. So much cruelty.

I knew someone that visited Auschwitz in Poland. He wasn't Jewish but was really into WWII history. He said it was such an intense and sobering visit. It's sad to think how cruel humanity can be.

I'm wondering if I should change my Faith on here. Not sure I'm quite pagan or christian. I forget if there is something more neutral. idk

Or maybe I won't. Can't seem to find the options for that. This site has changed so much since I was last here.

Yeah, if we want to change something these days, we create a thread in member services and request the change from staff. They're fairly accommodating.

Definitely the Packers

 

[Saucy]

Definitely the Packers

All of my friends are even on this one, driven mostly by their hate for the other team lol. Either they hate the Cowboys or hate the Packers.

It could be Cowboy's vs a mop...... still gotta side with the mop.

365 if you ask me...... I just received the gift of the Cowboys not going any further.

Sure..... my team looks so bad......... sure this season was wasted..... but the Cowboys didn't do any better than my Texans (On the field yes.... but not in the playoffs )

The Texans suck..... the Cowboys lose and what the Titans are doing is irrelevant......... all is right with the world. (I don't like my team sucking...... but I can live with it as long as the teams I hate do nothing too)

That was such an exciting finish.
