The myth of 6 million dead people? Were those doctored photos of Auschwitz, Spandau, and the other concentration camps? Was the movie footage I saw of people being executed done in Hollywood on a sound stage? Do you deny the testimony of survivors who can show tattoos and scars as evidence of the actions that took place in those camps? The main problem is that Don Black (the only person I've ever read who claims to belong to something called the Identity Christians--the premise of which is more ridiculous than that of scientology) is gradually and steadily trying to erase an historical fact, the elimination of which really wouldn't help his cause. Suppose, for a moment, that the Holocaust didn't happen. 6 million German citizens died in 6 million unrelated bizarre toaster accidents, or whatever. Is the position of Don Black's so-called Identity Christians any better off? I fail to see how. Whether it does any good or not, this revisionist view of history can only lead to a lot of screwed-up thinking on the part of people who believe it. Can you say Big Brother? I knew you could. --Steve Howard, aka Mr. Blore -- ...udenva!showard "No quote today." > --Don Black > > "...dec-vax!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-pundit!black" > VAXmail: PUNDIT::BLACK >
