Quoting alameda

....as to what I think about Tami...and the mods....or the majority of the mods...or, more importntly, the mods with delete power....I sometimes enjoyed his posts, and other times I cringed when I saw them.  In all I think he was not dealt with well.  He was provoked and taunted, rather than negeotiated with.  I actually found many of his posts humerous....and I think that is how he intended them to be as well......  tongue in cheek....obviously he is missed by others here.

 

In refusing to deal honestly with people like him, and others who have been here....the problem will persist....over and over again...under different nicks.  Just deleting someone does not deal with the issues.  Why does this person feel this way?  Nothing is black and white, there are always some reasons people feel the way they do.  By deleting people, the issues are now escalated and elevated.  I am reminded of two bull moose charging at each other....it becomse a matter of who was the Alpha......

 

Hmmmm I actually kind of agree with this...

 Correct me if I am wrong - but I believe Tami called all nazi´s Christians, but I don´t think he called all Christians nazis? If you find a post which proves me wrong, then ok.

 

Actually it is debatable that ALL nazis were Christians as, at certain points in his illustrious "career", Hitler declared himself to be athiest.  Historians disagree on whether this was part of his "image" and that he remained privately Christian, or whether he was in fact atheist...

 

 

You´re wrong

 

He called all non-Muslim inhabitants of Europe and the USA Christian, which in his perverted logic somehow also implied being Nazi. I know he wanted to change the "Not all Muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are Muslims" saying into "Not all Christians are Nazists but all Nazists are Christian". He however failed miserably by applying the Nazi Christian term to all kinds of actions that had nothing to do with either Christianity or Nazizm and by falsly assuming what you´ve just summed up - that not all Nazists were Christian.

Sorry, obviously I forgot to link it,one more time:

 

TheAenigma, you´re wrong, which is a wee bit different from the situation when things go wrong. I added the extra info in order to avoid confusion.

Yes, I think the terms Nazi is overused in the extreme. Nazis existed at a particular time and place, and do not currently exist.  The term Nazi has become an adjetive, it is unfortunate that the term has made it into popular language.

 

I understand what he meant by calling "Westerners" Christians is the fact that the dominant cultures in the "West" has decended from a "Christian" past.  I really don´t think most Europeans are particularly religious, or Christian.  The fact of the matter is for a much longer period of time Europe was "Pagan", much longer than it ever was Christian. 

 

In a sense, I see the current "Christian" countries as an evolution of the Roman Empire, rather than any religion. This not to say I don´t think there are sincere Christians, as I´m sure there are......but the identification as "Christian" is takek many times for  political of social reasons, rather than a sincere spiritual quest.

 

I wonder, would  Jesus would recognize what has been passing as "Christian" for the last couple thousand years?

 Oh dear!  Clearly you are one of those "the world does not exist outside the USA" people as you are obviously not aware of the HUGE (and ever increasing) numbers of neo-nazis in western europe (and in Germany in particular)...

 If he existed, he would probably be amazed that a jumped up preacher with a few tricks up his sleeve is still remembered
