And To Think – All This Started With “Mexicans Are Rapists…!”
Did ya catch Vladimir Putin doing his best Donald Trump impersonation the other day – right down to the paid attendees? Pacing the stage (more like a caged animal than the prize fighter he probably sees himself as), Putin rambled and grieved for himself, made wild, unsupported and unsupportable accusations, and did his best to…

The Jewish Experience And The Black Experience In America Aren’t Similar But They Aren’t That Different Either
Today, ABC News suspended Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks from “The View” after Whoopi “insisted that the Holocaust was “not about race,” but rather “man’s inhumanity to man.” Whoopi didn’t help herself any when she went on the Stephen Colbert show to do damage control. Look, in realpolitik terms, Whoopi is absolutely right: the larger…

There’s No Such Thing As A “Fake Christian”; There Are Only “Christians”
Want to know what makes an atheist laugh? Hearing one Christian call another Christian “fake”. FFS, that’s what the whole Protestant Reformation was! One group of Christians calling the other group “fake“. From the vantage of point of non-Christendom? What are both groups talking about? Hey — ever Google “Protestantism sects”? There are more than…

AT&T Donating Money To Insurrectionists Equals Deutsche Bank Helping To Build Auschwitz
Someone should write a saying about how when people refuse to learn the lessons of history, they’re likely to repeat the same terrible mistakes. Hitler doesn’t become “Hitler” without the steadfast support of German industry. Fascism triangulates politics, business and religion. When Christianity and commerce work together at power’s behest, you get Nazi Germany (and…

I Grew Up In The Shadow Of The Holocaust And I Feel That Shadow Growing
It isn’t all that surprising that a racist knuckle-scraper like Marjorie Taylor Greene would compare being compelled to wear a face mask to being sent to Auschwitz. In her heart, you just know Marjorie’s a Holocaust denier. Hell, I bet if Marjorie could go back in time to the Holocaust, she’d be thrilled. The biggest…

Anti-Semitism Will Endure Until The Last Christian Stops Thinking “The Jews Killed Jesus”
I’m biased, so excuse me, but blood libels are flat out stupid. Blood libels based on invented stories? The stupidest of all. And, it turns out, the deadliest. It’s hard to describe to a Christian — even Christian friends — what that experience is like. For starters, my tribe has NEVER declared war on their…

I Grew Up In The Shadow Of The Holocaust And I Feel That Shadow Growing
According to Donald Trump, “Jews” are a “nationality”. That’s not the first time a country’s leader has started down that road. Throughout most of Europe’s history, Jews were kept apart. In Venice, Italy, they put them on their own little islands and called that area — where the Jews lived — “ghetto”. That’s where the…

I Grew Up In The Shadow Of The Holocaust
It’s National Holocaust Remembrance Day. According to Donald Trump, “Jews” are a “nationality”. That’s not the first time a country’s leader has started down that road… Historically, it never ends well for Jews. I was born in 1959, 14 years after the Nazi concentration camps were liberated. In my brain, those camps never went away.…
