things that make you go "hmm..."
iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad just keeps the quotes coming. he's said a lot of things in the past month or so, most of them of the strictly pushing people's buttons type. for instance, he said that israel should be "wiped off the map." the latest thing he's said, is that the holocaust was "a myth," and that this myth is held even higher than the very belief in religion and prophets. as an example, he uses the fact that if a person expresses disbelief in god, nobody objects, but if a person rejects the holocaust, that person is condemned.
well i have news for Mr. Ahmadinejad; the holocaust happened, and god doesn't exist. how do i know? because there is physical evidence of the holocaust, as well as outright admittance of it by those who were privy to those crimes. so far, there is no such proof of god. i'm sorry, but someone writing some stories down on some paper does not constitute the proof of the existence of god. if that were the case, stephen king's cycle of the werewolf could be used to prove the existence of werewolves. that's all i have to say about that.

Oh, for sure to each their own. I'm the last person to be telling someone what to believe or how to live their life. obviously just beause i wrote that god doesn't exist, doesn't mean that god doesn't exist. it's obviously my point of view. i was just trying to illustrate a point about his example. that there is actual physical proof of one, and no proof of the other. it's just that in this world, in court, you need concrete evidence. there is concrete evidence of the holocaust. there just isn't any of god.
ReplyDeletefuck the devil's advocate.
ReplyDeleteThe world's reaction to M.A.'s comment plays perfectly into his hands.
ReplyDeleteTo quote the BBC:
"If someone were to deny the existence of God... or prophets and religion, they would not bother him. However, if someone were to deny the myth of the Jews' massacre, all the Zionist mouthpieces and the governments subservient to the Zionists tear their larynxes and scream against the person as much as they can,"
And the world screamed against M.A. when he denied the Holocaust. We think religous tolerance is a virtue whereas in Iran it is illegal, so of course we're going to scream more about the holocaust denial. But to Iranians, M.A. can play this up to validate his statements.
I don't think he cares whether or not the statements about the Holocaust were true or not. I think he cares about appearing to be tough and fearless against the West.
Yeah, he does have to appear tough against the West. But whatever. I'm over it already.
