My conclusion is simple. The Semitic texts from Bronze Age Palestine of which Christianity is comprised still fit uncomfortably well with contemporary life. The Old Testament depicts a God capricious and cruel; blood sacrifice, vengeance, genocide; death and destruction et al. Would He not approve of Herr Hitler and the brutal, tribalistic crusade against Hebrews and non-Christian ‘untermensch?’One thing is inarguable. His church on Earth has produced some of the most vigorous and violent contribution to the European fascist cause.It is synergy. Man Created God, even if God Created Man; it all exists in the hubris and apotheosis of the narcissistic soul, and alas, all too many of the human herd are willing to follow the beastly trait of leadership. The idea of self-emancipation and advancement, with Europe under the jackboot of fascism, would be Quixotic to the point of mirthless lunacy.","author":"Daniel S.

Their craving was for power; and for power they needed slaves whose labor they could command for their great industrial ventures. They therefore developed an instrument which was at once an opiate and a spur. By every method of propaganda they sought to rouse the passions of nationalism and racial hatred. They created, in fact, the 'Other Fascism', complete with lies, with mystical cult of race and state, with scorn of reason, with praise of brutal mastery, with appeal at once to the vilest and to the generous motives of the deluded young.","author":"Olaf Stapledon","tags":["fascism","history","society"],"id":21016,"author_id":"Olaf+Stapledon"},{"text":"It was not, however, to these Fascist groups, numerically unimportant as they were, that the Third Republic owed its collapse. On the contrary, the plain, if paradoxical, truth is that their influence was never so slight as at the moment when the collapse actually took place. What made France fall was the fact that she had no more true Dreyfusards, no one who believed that democracy and freedom, equality and justice could any longer be defended or realized under the republic.","author":"Hannah Arendt","tags":["1967","democracy","democracy-fails","dreyfus","fascism","french-republic","third-republic"],"id":27532,"author_id":"Hannah+Arendt"},{"text":"If a nation is leaving democracy and choosing fascism, it means that it is taking itself from a peaceful garden to a bloody slaughter house!","author":"Mehmet Murat ildan","tags":["democracy","democracy-in-america","dictators","dictatorship","dictatorships","fascism","fascism","fascism","fascism","fascismo","ildan-wisdom","ildan-wise-sayings","ildan-words","mehmet-murat-ildan","mehmet-murat-ildan","nation","nations","nations","nations","trump","turkish-aphorisms","turkish-","turkish-literature","turkish-playwrights","turkish","turkish","turkish-sayings","turkish-thinkers","turkish-wisdom-words","turkish-writers"],"id":32234,"author_id":"Mehmet+Murat+ildan"},{"text":"If a nation is leaving democracy and choosing fascism, it means that it is taking itself from a peaceful garden to a bloody slaughter house!","author":"Mehmet Murat ildan","tags":["democracy","democracy-in-america","dictators","dictatorship","dictatorships","fascism","fascism","fascism","fascism","fascismo","ildan-wisdom","ildan-wise-sayings","ildan-words","mehmet-murat-ildan","mehmet-murat-ildan","nation","nations","nations","nations","trump","turkish-aphorisms","turkish-","turkish-literature","turkish-playwrights","turkish","turkish","turkish-sayings","turkish-thinkers","turkish-wisdom-words","turkish-writers"],"id":32234,"author_id":"Mehmet+Murat+ildan"},{"text":"If a nation is leaving democracy and choosing fascism, it means that it is taking itself from a peaceful garden to a bloody slaughter house!","author":"Mehmet Murat ildan","tags":["democracy","democracy-in-america","dictators","dictatorship","dictatorships","fascism","fascism","fascism","fascism","fascismo","ildan-wisdom","ildan-wise-sayings","ildan-words","mehmet-murat-ildan","mehmet-murat-ildan","nation","nations","nations","nations","trump","turkish-aphorisms","turkish-","turkish-literature","turkish-playwrights","turkish","turkish","turkish-sayings","turkish-thinkers","turkish-wisdom-words","turkish-writers"],"id":32234,"author_id":"Mehmet+Murat+ildan"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":151,"pages":16,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
