Mix fundy religion with sheer insanity and you get rants like this idiot. People who write for blogs or comment on them may be familiar with something called "Godwin's Law." It holds that if an online discussion/debate goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will invoke a comparison to Hitler and the Nazis. Some activists on the Religious Right don't waste any time dragging the Nazis into the picture. Consider Brannon Howse. Howse runs Worldview Weekend, an organization that sponsors seminars to help Christians adopt the proper "biblical worldview." (I attended one back in 2002. It was enlightening, to say the least. See more here.) Howse recently sent out an e-mail promoting an article he wrote listing 25 reasons why America is like Nazi Germany. He gives only seven reasons in the e-mail. You have to order a magazine and give him your mailing address to get the whole thing. Based on the seven reasons I've read, I'd say Howse needs, as my mother used to say, "to have his head examined." His article is shrill and hysterical - and much of it isn't even true. Howse asserts that Adolf Hitler removed religious holidays and prayer from public schools - just like our Supreme Court did in 1962. http://tinyurl.com/acvk9z --- Xnews/5.04.25* Origin: Fidonet Via Newsreader - http://www.easternstar.info (1:123/789.0) SEEN-BY: 10/1 3 14/250 34/999 120/228 123/500 128/2 140/1 222/2 226/0 249/303 SEEN-BY: 250/306 261/20 38 100 1381 1404 1406 1418 266/1413 280/1027 320/119 SEEN-BY: 396/45 633/260 267 690/734 712/848 800/432 801/161 189 2222/700 SEEN-BY: 2320/100 105 2905/0 @PATH: 123/789 500 261/38 633/260 267 |
