| Rath said: You also hit a major problem when you're comparing a belief system with a race. When people say 'The world would be better off without evangelical Christianity', they don't mean 'fire up the furnaces'. They want people to stop believing in something that they think as a belief is harmful to society. Its really a fallacious argument to try and make people who wish that a belief that they think is out-dated and harmful to go away look like they are trying to make a holocaust happen. |
In the 1930s most people who were upset with the Jewish population in Europe were also not suggesting genocide, and a very intelligent and evil individual used them as scapegoats to promote his own agenda.
If you have a problem with a stance why wouldn't you argue against that stance rather than use stereotypes and prejudice to turn a group of people into scapegoats?
