[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] Well, Rob, if you want to use your dictionary's incorrect definition, I'll grant that, for the sake of argument. However, it's merely semantics, and you know it. Followers of the teachings of Jesus Christ have NEVER commited an attrocity in the history of mankind, by the nature of said teachings. Therefore, the argument can not be made that people who follow said teachings are dangerous... ...or whatever the point of this thread has become... ? Tahna: [i]I'm not sure if that is an official account, since it is coming only from the mouth of Cecil Adams, who may or may not be a genuine historian.[/i] Not a historian, but an uber-researcher. If something can be known, he can tell you. And he get's paid for it, unlike Rob. ;) [i]the reasons for the use of the swastika in WWII appear to be consistent with its use in modern day racist (read "Christian") groups such as the Aryan Nations and the Heritage Front.[/i] No, they don't. The swastika was used in Nazi Germany because it was considered a symbol of good luck and divine protection by... whoever. Now, it's used because they used it, and the modern racist (read: not Christian) groups that use it support the same things that Nazi Germany did. [i]I remember that a variation of the swastika was seen in a Buddhist temple when I was on a class trip in high school, and almost immediately, most classmates start to associate Buddhism, and the Chinese, with Naziism, a comparison that I DID NOT like.[/i] So you can imagine how I feel when you associate the symbol, Naziism, and Christianity with far less basis.
