It is truly inconceivable that there are people who are trying to prove that the Holocaust never happened. Not only were six million Jews exterminated in the death camps, but also millions of Catholics, Protestants and Gypsies, among others. There are thousands of eye witnesses to these events still living, on all sides of the tragedy, not to mention that the death camps themselves still stand as monuments to our awful inhumanity to our brethren. How could anyone deny this ? Perhaps the good priests and nuns taught me wrong, but I believed that Christianity stressed love, humility and mercy, toward *everyone*, not just one's fellow believers. Mr. Black seems to believe in a much different religion, one that promulgates bigotry, hatred, suspicion and arrogance. I realise, along with Charles Wingate, that it is impossible to argue with Mr. Black, but I agree with Rich Rosen that those of us who know differently must stand up and say something. Many of the sentiments that underly Mr. Black's messages are sick and twisted. I hope there are not many more people like him, or we are all in sad shape. -- jcpatilla "'Get stuffed !', the Harlequin replied ..."
