Prejudices...

Ok, recently it hit me how some people were being incredibly prejudiced against people they didn't even know, for instance: Canadians. This is one I just can't understand...

The other one is against Nazis. I CAN understand this, but some of it is a little over-done. Labelling every Nazi a monster is just a little over-statement. Would you call the clean up officers, kitchen staff, and simple recruits "monsters"? Only a handful out of the entire organization were actually really involved in the horrible deaths of the Jews. I like to use the WWI trench system as an example. Each soldier in those trenches were taught that the guys on the other side of no man's land were brutes and monsters, killers of innocent children, hunch-backed and wearing a sly grin, but the truth was, when you got down to it, the guys you were shooting at were exactly the same as you. Terrified, shell shocked, injured, wet, cold, sick of the rats, flea and lice bitten and simply trying to survive.

In a war of people against people, there are no "good guys" and "bad guys" there are simply people fighting for what they believe in, with God to decide if its right or not.

Now, I'm about to ruffle a few feathers...

I reckon that we really have no huge right to call Hitler a monster. He was deceived, yes, and he did horrible things, yes, but have we not done similar things? The word that comes to mind is "Slavery". Were not the things that people did to slaves long before Hitler was even born just as bad as the things he had done to the Jews? We label him a monster, and blame him for a bunch of stuff, but in God's eyes, all sin is the same.

A lie is the same as murdering someone in God's eyes.

So yeah, hopefully THIS post will get a good discussion going...
