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.

When Mankind becomes “capable of believing in anything,” they certainly are able to judge 21st Century behavior by 7th Century standards in one instance (such as the Islamic Terrorists) and, in another instance, judge 13th Century Christian behavior by 21st Century standards (as our esteemed President has done just recently).

And every beheading victim, and every cancer victim ...

Why would anyone make the choice to believe in reincarnation? How is another earthly life, of which even the best includes a lot of suffering, an improvement over eternal life with the Lord?

And if they’re afraid of what their eternal destiny might be, why aren’t they afraid of the payback in their next life?

With her bizarre, clownish make-up, her Clarabel the Clown orange fright-wig, her cryogenically-preserved frozen face and her monotone R2-D2 droid vocal delivery, MacLaine is evidently the comic relief for Downton Abbey.

Fortunately, she's not in too many scenes, she's so awfully-awful.

If she isn't written out of the series as quickly as possible she should be, at the least, sent to the Tower and kept there in chains with Lord Hee-Haw till the London Blitz starts in Season 24 of the series.

“Lord Haw-haw.”

Good suggestion, that would be hysterical!

...because most people who believe in reincarnation are dyed in the wool libtards, who suffer from a massive superiority complex...

They think: No way I'm coming back as a cockroach, I'm gonna come back as a beautiful Hollywood celebtard

I wonder what Shirley MaClaine did in her past life to end up so f%&ked up in this one?

I guess that’s true. If a person thinks he’s as great as anyone could possibly be - I have an 18-year-old son like that - then maybe he assumes that his next iteration will be even better.

So I noticed she didn’t have anything to say about Islam and karma and getting what they deserved for the millions they killed.

This is your brain.

This is your brain on drugs.

This is your brain after a lifetime of drugs.

Yet another reinforcement of the already obvious observation: most of Hollywood is nuts.

She is deranged. Mental illness is prevalent in her family. Her niece (Warren Beatty’s daughter Katherine is now known as transgendered Stephen Ira).

There were big gidolim (great rabbis) even in the late 1980s who said the same. They were not moonbats , just mistaken.
There were, however, greater rabbis who told us that we simply cannot phathom why G-d allowed a holocaust.

I never understood the belief in reincarnation in place of belief in God.

Who do they think would run the whole reincarnation mechanism, judging past lives, deciding who gets born when and how?

How dear you. You stupid little twit. Why don’t you visit He Holy Land and the Museum of the Holocaust? Why don’t you make a pilgrimage to Auschwitz you stupid bitch? See the depravity of the Nazis. Yes, the actual ovens, the Gas Chambers! How dear you.
I’ve been to both places and I dear you madam twit to come to the same conclusion. However, we all know that you do not have the spine to withstand what actually happened in the Twentieth Century. You fricken phoney. How dear you!
