Shirley MacLaine Says Holocaust Victims Maybe Deserved It for Sins of Past Lives
Creative Minority Report ^ | February 13, 2015 | MATTHEW ARCHBOLD

“When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything.”

Daily Mail:

The veteran Hollywood actress suggests the six million Jews and millions of others systematically murdered in Hitler’s death camps in the 1940s were ‘balancing their karma’ for crimes committed in past lives.

She also suggests that cosmologist Professor Stephen Hawking may have subconsciously given himself his debilitating motor neurone disease.

Really, Shirley? Actress Shirley MacLaine has been denounced by Jewish campaigners and other activists after suggesting that the millions of victims of Nazi death camps may have needed to balance their karma

Miss MacLaine’s comments, in a recently published book, were attacked last night by Jewish campaigners and other activists as offensive and wrong.

In her memoir, the 80-year-old, who won an Oscar for Terms Of Endearment, writes: ‘What if most Holocaust victims were balancing their karma from ages before, when they were Roman soldiers putting Christians to death, the Crusaders who murdered millions in the name of Christianity, soldiers with Hannibal, or those who stormed across the Near East with Alexander? The energy of killing is endless and will be experienced by the killer and the killee.’
But the real question here is what did we do to deserve Shirley MaClaine?

Hey, don't you get on your high horse though. Because Crusades.

My cat is smarter (and a whole lot cuter) than Shirley M. What a complete empty-headed ho.

They were probably just as guilty as she is and perhaps even less.

“Karma” is the doctrine that states every rape victim really did deserve it.

Crusaders “killing millions”. I’m sure. Like they had machine guns, artillery & so forth. Any idea, Shirley, how hard it is to kill THAT many people with nothing more than edged weapons?

I wonder what her brother Warren Beatty and sister-in-law Annette Benning think? Though they are nuts too. So am I suppose to think perhaps Warren and Annette’s son became a girl because of a past life?

That instant karma is going to get ya’.

Pretty tough to combine the Holocaust, mystical crystal worship, and hindu reincarnation theory all in one sentence of energy vortex mind numbing stupidity.

I'm wondering what heinous transgressions I must have accumulated in several previous lives to have to listen to such drivel from such a wicked out moron

If one believes in reincarnation and the concept of “karma,” how is what she said wrong?
