Comments on: Your Alibi Roundup https://whynow.dumka.us/2017/03/27/your-alibi-roundup/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Thu, 30 Mar 2017 23:30:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2017/03/27/your-alibi-roundup/comment-page-1/#comment-84949 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 23:30:21 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=38938#comment-84949 Good read.

What you should be aware of is that the US has been down this road more than once, usually with a preceding religious ‘awakening’ followed by a nasty case of xenophobia. The disease runs it course, but isn’t a pleasant experience. People keep saying ‘what were we thinking’ and ‘never again’ but after a couple of generations people forget.

In some areas Holocaust survivors are speaking out, and that has some effect, but not enough.

I noticed that Marine Le Pen of France’s wingnuts is a newly minted Putin supporter. Someone should audit her books.

I’ve been reading this fascinating article about what’s happening in Aus. (with a bit of USA & UK thrown in, because what happens there very much affects us).

It’s a bit of a read, but I think worth the time. 🙂

The Tricky Business of what Happens Next

I don’t see the logic of thinking that you get extra credit for including other people in your delusion.

The last time I checked G*d had an oversized tool chest when it came to introducing humans to the afterlife. Why waste time convincing humans to do something that Staphylococcus aureus is ‘designed’ do with no fuss? What’s the point of creating plagues if you are going to outsource the job to guys in bathrobes?

Norman Schwarzkopf – RIP] should be applied to those who care more for the afterlife than this life:

“Forgiveness is between them and God. My job is to arrange the meeting.”

It was my job once. 😛

It is a variation of the martyrdom that drives suicide bombers. These people believe that they will better off in an afterlife, so the misery in this life don’t matter – they are making sacrifices for a greater future good. Hopefully they wake up before it kills them.

I came across an interesting & timely article:

Why Arendt Matters: Revisiting “The Origins of Totalitarianism”

Makes some valid points I think. 🙂
