O look there it is.

A number of things annoyed me about this article.

Firstly

Why did God remain silent? What about your jackass predecessor who remained silent? No comment there eh? Go back to Germania.

What? Because the only reason the Nazis killed people was because they spoke german? Yeah I can see how that works.

Modern secular values like not bothering to speak out when millions of people of another faith are being killed or joining the Hitler Youth am i rite?


Edit: So this thread has slightly more of a point I'm going to express total disgust towards both the catholic church and those appalling Jewish interest groups which accuse almost everything even vaguely diminuitive of the Holocaust or denigrating towards Israel of being anti-semitic. The church says it disagrees with modern secular values. What values does it mean? A modern secular value is being opposed to murder, is the church against that? I'd rather hope not. Does it mean only "values" which have emerged recently? Like contraception? Frankly the church's views on contraception are so appalling they should be kicked in the face every time someone expresses a belief in them. On specific Jewish interest groups (I dislike the way I'm phrasing this but i rather lack something a bit better) you have people abusing the memory of the deaths of millions through exploitative emotive gibberish and quite frequently using it to diminish opposition to the deaths of many more. It's disgusting at best.
