Nazis must die.
It is talking about what one considers important. Leave things behind that are important only in a worldly, sinful sense but not in a righteous sense.
No you are not following the bible, nor are you helping others to do the same. H1Bs are entering the kingdom of heaven before you are.
All humanity dies. Next.
Nazi sympathizers are next.
Well, conveniently in Germany there was a distinction between being a Nazi, and being a soldier in the German army.
I do blame every Nazi, but not every German soldier. You could not have been a member of the Nazi party and not have enthusiastically cheered at Hitler’s commitment to killing the Jews. That was the basis of the enterprise. That was the evil that they united against. Little Jewish children in Poland had to be exterminated. And your rank and file Nazi, whether they had specific knowledge of the processes and procedures, was fully on board with the sentiment.
AND THEN after the war, they melted back into society, accepted the gifts of the Marshall plan and the NATO defense. And now he’s sorry, 70 odd years later.
So your politicized rationalization cut very little ice with me.
WOW! What a pleasure to meet you, God! After all, only God will make that decision.
You exalt yourself above God. Lucifer did that once.
Remember the part of the Lord’s prayer:
“forgive us our trespasses (sins) as we forgive those who trespass against us”
We as Christians are not supposed to be vindictive. There may be times when we as individuals are called on to execute judgment, but we must do that duty with a neutral heart. If we are so called, we should not proscribe punishment with relish, but with every possible attempt to be fair and to hear the facts first before even considering what is a fair punishment.
Said another way, we are not called to be exact vengeance for things, but leave that to the Lord.
I mention this as you seem to want to see these fellows hanged without any of that. It seems a wee bit like you would like to be in that position of exacting vengeance.
I am afraid that, while I can see the appeal, that might not be the best place to be. We humans are told not to go down that path, we cannot handle that responsibility. The old “be careful about staring into the abyss, least a part of it end up in you”.
Something to ponder.
I am a different kind of Christian. I am a sword, a man of retribution, a man of vindictive justice. I am on Jesus’s payroll as the Chief Executioner. Thousands and millions of heads will roll on the ground in front of me. The blood will be inches-deep. Obey Jesus or FACE MY WRATH!
The letters were written by the ‘soldiers’ while it was happening. Grim details and all. No one was forced to do anything. They are all guilty.
Yea, but then again, white people are the goose that lays golden eggs. So it would not help the new taskmasters to exterminate them...and we bite (have a lot of guns) so we shall see how this turns out ;-)
“FWIW, every member of the House of Representatives is guilty of egregious inaction and dereliction of duty with responsibility for many American military and civilian deaths due to their refusal to impeach the Fraud.”
BINGO!
Sort of off-topic, but there needs to be a multiplicity (is that a real word?) of impeachment trials. And criminal trials, for that matter.
All starting January, 2017.
“[..] I forgot to never argue with an idiot. An hour or two of my life wasted. When will I learn?”
People like that need a quick, hard, pop in the mouth. Wake them the hell up. Let them know that calling you a liar has consequences.
Denial of objective reality is a sign of serious mental issues. Unfortunately, we have no clear, clean way to deal with this nowadays, other than the obvious.
“Seriously....what could he have done? Anything he did would have resulted in his immediate execution.”
I agree. He is just a scapegoat today, to make someone feel good about themselves.
Perhaps he needs some sort of punishment, but he was just cog in the evil Nazi machine; and an easily replaceable one at that. He just didn’t have the courage of his convictions, if he had any. (Maybe just no personal courage. I am not sure that is really punishable. Deplorable, but not punishable.)
It’s easy to say he has no courage. We don’t know the circumstances. He may have been protecting his family.
Note that I said maybe. And you are right, I don’t know his circumstances. I am going on what is in the article and discussed here. That is all I can do. It doesn’t invalidate my opinion.
Not disagreeing with you. I hope it didn’t come across that way.
Nah, sorry if I sounded that way...
It just seems to me, after 70+ years, this smacks of vengeance and societal scapegoating, not justice. And on an insignificant player in the drama. This guy had no authority nor responsibility for the Nazi policies and their implementation. He a two-bit player, and everyone is congratulating themselves on convicting him; but it is so long after his crimes that is it a meaningless exercise.
He could have accepted his own death.
Easy to say from the comfort of your warm house and keyboard.........
Regardless of what side you are on, you fight for your side and follow orders. That's the way every successful military functions and only the loser gets the scrutiny........
If you read his defense, he fought bravely on the front lines until he was wounded and following his recovery, he asked to be sent back. (Just like any proud American soldier would have done). Instead, his request was denied and he was sent to Auschwitz as a guard.........From that point on, everything was out of his control.
There were horrendous atrocities committed in Vietnam by American soldiers on innocent people which were largely ignored. Case in point, William Laws Calley Jr only received three and a half years of house arrest at Ft. Benning following his conviction in 1971........
Calley's conviction was based on first person testimony and evidence, Reinhold Hanning was merely a soldier following orders and there is no evidence whatsoever that he did anything more than man a watchtower in Auschwitz.........
If you were a southerner of a certain age you’d know that answer
