Would that be compared to other Usenet newgroups? :-)

Some dogmas and core beliefs of Christianity are:

1. Christ's death (to atone for the sins of all mankind, forever)
2. Christ's resurrection after 3 days (Easter) (can conquer death)
3. Christ ascension to heaven 40 days after Easter (can defy gravity)
4. Pentecost - Holy Spirit 7 weeks after Easter (invisible power)
5. Christ's return/second coming (judgment day, Armageddon)

It is not difficult to understand how the first one, the idea of Jesus,
the son of God, having to die for our sins and the sins of all mankind
for all times came into being.

In the thousands of years before Christ, in many cultures human
sacrifices were seen as the ultimate appeasement with God or the gods,
as the best offering to atone for sins, to beg for forgiveness,
to ask for blessings, to ward of disasters, famine, epidemics,
to obtain salvation, etc..

As you study the many religions in the middle east and other
areas of the world over thousands of years, you will find similar
philosophies, similar explanations, similar stories, similar gods,
similar miracles (e.g., walking on water), similar myths.

Orthodox Jewish Attitude to the 'Holocaust'

(International Conference "Review of the Holocaust", Teheran 11-12
December '06)

Speech delivered by Rabbi Aharon Cohen of Neturei Karta

1. Honourable friends, peers and colleagues. We are gathered here to
discuss and consider from many angles a tremendously prominent issue
from among the tragic events of the 2nd World War. The issue which has
become known as the 'Holocaust'. As is known this issue revolves
around the policy and actions adopted by Nazi Germany against the
Jewish People. This is of course in the context of their much wider
murderous activities at that time. My aim is to try and give you the
Orthodox Jewish approach to this matter.

2. Firstly let me express my gratitude to the illustrious organisers of
this valuable event for granting my colleagues and myself the
opportunity to express our views on this matter and we consider this
opportunity a very great privilege.

You are nothing but a narcissistic, arrogant, sonofabitch, who is
totally paranoid.

s: > Sexually dysfunctional yahoo, eh? Well, I am bisexual, with
strong homosexual leanings, if that is what you mean. And yes, I am
proud that I'm not insane like you, and am instead somewhat normal.

"Somewhat normal???" WAKE THE HELL UP, AMERICA!!

s: > Nope, sorry to dissapoint, there is NO conspiracy against you.
No one actually listens to you. No one actually cares. I'm not even
sure why I'm bothering to write this, knowing that you will write
stupid and nonsensical comments, and that you are going to post this
on any number of forums.
