Come on bro! First of all, it is not "sin" to deny the Holocaust.

I am not your bro.

It neither surprises nor shocks me when a Moslem claims Holocast Denial and Antisemitism are not sins. Their definition of sin and spirituality is Koran based.

On the matter of the morality of Holocaust Denial or Antisemitism, I am only speaking to those Gentiles who consider themselves Christians. The rest of the Gentiles are constrained by civil and criminal laws, and whatever their conscience may prevent. There is no law in the United States against Holocaust Denial and Antisemitism as there is against over acts of terror like flying airplanes into our buildings and murdering our citizens.

Keep setting up these straw men, and I'll keep knocking them down.

First, have you actually read my post? It clearly says that I believe that upwards of 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazis. And while you're re-reading, could you kindly point out where I said that anti-semitism (a form of racial hatred)is not a sin? Racial hatred or the mere sense of racial superiority is directly condemned by God.

As I said before, to any rational mind, Holocaust denial or revisionism is: "idiocy, or dangerous idiocy". But being in error is not the same as sin. Only if it were a conscious and deliberate decision to minimize the Holocaust becuase of malice toward the Jews-- only then would it rise to the level of sin.

Are there people who meet that standard? Sure. Is Hutton Gibson one of them? I don't think so.

In any case, does it really matter whether 4,5, or 6 million Jews were systematically murdered by the Nazis. Does it make the Nazis any less evil?

You state: I am not your bro

I apologize. I was under the mistaken impression that the sons and daughters of Adam were brothers and sisters. Would you prefer Cousin, then?
