“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.But the real question here is what did we do to deserve Shirley MaClaine?
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.’
That is probably one of the cruelest, most insensitive things she, or anyone could possibly say. I wonder what she thinks she's going to be in the next life, if our world still exists. What arrogance! She sounds almost as if she's gloating...
Sadly, she's in for a big surprise when her time comes. She needs prayers, and hopefully this idea of hers reflects some type of mitigating mental illness. God have mercy on her.
Sorry Tax-Chick... the reply from my phone didn’t go through. Yes, reincarnation-believing rabbis. In fact, all real Jewish rabbis (I speak of Orthodox) believe in reincarnation. Stock and trade Judaism 101.
Huh. I had no idea.
