WARNING - GRAPHIC MATERIAL
    TOPIC: THE ART OF THE HOLOCAUST 

I post this in honor of those who suffered so much under the capricious rule of a hateful dictator and the racist sycophants who did his bidding with glee and intentionality. 

Such hatreds and cruelties are not gone from the world simply because the Nazis were defeated. Those demons still walk the halls of the governments of this world, and the churches that have no courage to speak out and resist such cruelty and the domination of one nation over those targeted as enemies of the state. 

It begins with the ideas and values of those who hate "the other." Simple acts of exclusion and disdain, name-calling and vilification produce the terrible inhumane effects we see recorded in this book. 

Some of this material was presented in the Nuremberg trials when key Nazis and their cohorts were tried in an international court. 

I personally remember how, during their trials, the Nazis continued to scoff and mock, and laugh out loud at their adjudicators. They were defiant to the end. Nothing could convince them that what they had done was wrong. Rather, they were proud of it. MANY still have the same hatreds -- even in our own nation. The Nazis and Fascists are not gone. They are stronger and more populous than ever before This is not unlike what has happened in the US with the January 6th insurrection. The attitudes are the same, only the perpetrators have changed.  

This must surely give us pause. Not only that such ideas and hatreds exist, but especially because people are compliant and complicit in such ungodly acts in our own time. 


We must pray, speak out and resist every IDEA and every ACTION that could well reproduce a Holocaust in our own time.

CHRISTIANITY AFTER TRUMP Welcome to the "MAGA-JESUS!" ---- See my disclaimer at the bottom of the page ---- Churches in America are being radicalized on both ends of the political spectrum . Christianity itself is in the cross-hairs . . . Christians are damned if they do and damned if they don't . . . a great separation is coming Not just in America, but all over the world, Christianity is going through dynamic changes. In the United States,  as a result of Religious-Trump-Republicans, many kinds of "faith-expressions" will witness a restructuring --both in theological content and in praxis.  Traditional Christian views and values will be spoken against . . . seen as too "woke," and as enemies of the policies of the US government. They will be proclaimed as "anti-American," and influenced by Communism. Historic Christian orthodoxy will shrink. Time-proven Christian orthopraxy will become distorted and bizarre, faddish and experimental. I a...

DRESS REHEARSAL for the Anti-Christ  Donald Trump is not the anti-Christ, nor is he Hitler, nor is he the devil, but he is probably a shadow of all those things -- what he IS is his own unique kind of trouble.  He reminds me of the horrific paintings by two painters, Fransisco Goya and Peter Paul Reuben of "Saturn devouring his son."    * These are depictions of the "Greek myth of the Titan Cronus, whom the Romans called Saturn, eating one of his children out of fear of a prophecy by Gaea that one of his children would overthrow him." Wikipedia What disturbs me most is that it was so called "good people," "church-goers," "moral citizens," "those outraged" by the sins of America, that have put Trump into power.  He promised them that he would go after " their enemies." What they didn't figure on is that he would go after HIS enemies.  I do not believe he cares one bit about "THEIR" enemies, but he doe...

10 THINGS THE CHURCH I GREW UP IN TAUGHT THAT I NEVER BELIEVED  10. People who smoke cigarettes and use tobacco products are going to hell 9. The Bible forbids the use of alcohol for personal enjoyment  8. People who commit suicide or die drunk automatically go to hell  7. Christians should uphold / promote capital punishment  6. Manifest Destiny, the Republican party is the Christian party,  and if a soldier dies for America in war, they automatically go to heaven. Pacifists are heretics and not Christians at all. Democrats are not Christians and no true Christian would be a Democrat 5. Women are to be subordinate to ALL men - not just their husbands - because they are incapable of higher thinking, are physically weaker, have smaller brains, and they were deceived in the garden of Eden--ate of the forbidden fruit first, caused Adam to sin--thus they are the cause of the fall of the human race into sin and must be suppressed 4. The Brown races are inferior - alt...
