The moral differences between the holocaust and bombing Japan

Your God

Quote:

But, if I was a Gentile New Yorker, that did not have any education beyond high school, I could see myself resenting the success that American-Jews have, and find all sorts of rationalizations to think of themselves as not equal to any Gentile worth his or her Christmas stocking. It is just human nature to many times resent those that appear to be better-off than oneself, in some way, big or small.

This is sad but true, many people do see things this way. Our nature does seem to be this way to a large degree. I think it mainly has to do with seeing others as different than you.

I see some people as different than me culturally speaking but I think we all should be treated the same way you would want your mother to be treated.
That is if you do love your mother.

Not my God, but the god who first appeared in Genesis chapter 3.

Perhaps you did not understand my question.

Since YOUR god (wherever that god came from) worked it out so that EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING will die...

...how can you come to the conclusion that the god thinks each death is an abomination?

as that was not the intent of my post.

Perhaps you did not understand my question.

It really boggles the mind that anyone could suggest the two events are morally equivalent, but it is, sadly, explainable by generations far removed from the facts of WWII, sorely uneducated in terms of history, and convinced that it is "cool" to "like" the Palestinians.

You really are a snide **** to conflate two separate issues. Maybe you only adopt a moral stance because you think it's cool, but the fact is the Palestinians are an oppressed people enduring a brutal occupation. There's nothing cool about thinking that.

It's a lot better than thinking it's cool to invade a country on completely fabricated evidence, slaughter thousands and destabilise a whole region just because the leader slighted America's sense of self importance.

Stop getting maudlin. The "have-nots" will always resent the "haves."

We are not talking about the same god Frank. I think you know that.

I believe you and Frank are referring to the same god. In which case, you are both right.

Apparently you did not read the entire post, focusing only on the first part. Frank and RL focused on the latter part, as you may have noticed.

I thought my post answered the OP, by comparing the reported death counts. But, to be accurate, about 50,000,000 were killed in WWII, making the OP seem less relevant. That is, until you count the immeasurable deaths of all the wars of human history. The culprits in those deaths would be the priests who maintain their comfortable positions by supplying cannon fodder to their respective governments.

For this, the true God is keeping account.

Are you intentionally stereotyping the have nots the way that some gentiles may stereotype some Jews that they have encountered?

I am talking about "resentment" of those that are perceived to have something one does not have. Jews collectively do not resent anyone for having more than them. If you know any Jews, it is more likely that Jews just admire those that have more than them, and use those "haves" as a role-model.

Jews collectively do not resent anyone for having more than them. If you know any Jews, it is more likely that Jews just admire those that have more than them, and use those "haves" as a role-model. No resentment from Jews, for all intensive purposes.

Neo...are you suggesting that YOUR GOD...has not set up things so that EVERY HUMAN BEING will die at some point?

If you are not suggesting that...the question stands.

Still waiting for an answer.

Is that how you determine morality is by death counts?
