I have to tread carefully here, lest I be misunderstood, but both the ancient Iraelites and the Nazis saw themselves as superior to other people. Both acted upon that belief.
Enjoy the movie, and I look forward to hearing your comments afterward.
Let me put it this way, when a “family” straps bombs to a child and marches him into a cafe to murder innocent men women and children, and the entire culture condones it, then THAT culture has destroyed itself, and Israelis have every right to defend themselves.
And I can see no evidence anywhere that Israelites hated God and/or mankind in such as a way as to behave as this.
Yet we still have such a culture seemingly locked into 7th century thinking right now behaving such a way.
Nazis were what Israelites were fighting.
And yes, I see Israeli culture then and today superiror to such an abomination.
I think there could be some cases where violence isn’t necessarily a bad or evil thing in other words.
If a man came into your home with a gun and you killed him protecting your family, I for one would see the need.
And yet there are some who would say YOU were the bad guy
‘cause the other guy is dead, can’t apeak for himself, you planted the gun, he was only hungry, a product of evil America...OMG there’s literally a million excuses!
People go to jail for doing such a thing and they weren’t even at fault, for all kinds of wrong reasons, all over the world.
Just like we would think it harsh if a kid had a hand lopped off for taking an apple, it’s again all about perception isn’t it?
If you were born and raised in Japan, a Japanese, once your brain perceived WW2, the very first thought in your mind would probably be Hiroshima (and/or Nagasaki).
But if you were American, it may more likely be Pearl Harbor.
That’s the way I see science, either with or without God’s fingerprints (with or without purpose).
“Enjoy the movie, and I look forward to hearing your comments afterward”
I’ll make a point to share them with you! (BTW, what’s ‘Dog Gone’ about?)
I’m seriously thinking about Iron Man tomorrow or this weekend though, my son is chomping at the bit...and most likely I’ll see Stein’s movie alone ‘cause no one in my family cares too much about culture wars and politics etc.
SMART! :)
