I just had to bring this mind-bending piece of idiocy to everyone’s attention.
I was looking around for fundie opinions on whether or not Jews will be allowed into the Kingdom of Heaven during the Rapture, and I happened upon this book, by one “Doyle Reno, a Mennonite author”. I followed one of his “exciting links”, and a particular part of his analysis of the book of Daniel caught my eye (emphasis added):
So Hitler was a Communist? OK, right… And Communism came from Russia, did it? Sorry about that, Mr Marx, we shall disinter your German corpse from London and have your bones shipped to the Kremlin forthwith. Of course, we all remember Kaiser Lenin, but what about that pinko Charlemagne, back in the 9th century? Holy Roman Red Emperor bastards.
Mr Reno, if you’re going to hitch some vague imagery to historical events to back up a “prophecy”, at least get the fucking history vaguely in the right fucking ballpark of accuracy, you hopeless fucking dolt.
Still, it’d make a “great Christmas gift for a loved one” (or a deluded McCarthyite).
And how nice of you to pick a relatively coherent passage for your critique. Personally, I was almost as impressed by the bit about the whole world being signed over to the Pope in a ceremony in 1999 - I didn’t see that on the news… I suppose I might have been in the bath or something.
But I shall follow this gentleman’s advice in one way - I’ll try not to be five virgins when the End Times come around.
I too will follow his advice and not be found lukewarm. Or sleeping. Or sleeping with my hand in a bowl of lukewarm water, just to be on the safe side.
Yep, that is indeed a Guestbook to be proud of eh?? A whole five entries, two ‘private’ (for the owners eyes only), one from the cousin of the partner of Doyle, and two cheering posts from his adoring public I guess…:rolleyes:
However, as has been proven time and time again, the majority is not always right. (It’d be a real bummer if I got to the Pearly Gates only to find that Mr. Reno was truly enlightened all along). But I do doubt this, and it is ever so heartening to see such a lack of devotees to his numbknuckle theses…maybe there is hope for this crazy world yet.
i think you may be in part misinterpreting the passage. Hitler rose to power as fast as he did in large part as a counter to what was a very fast advancing communist party in germany. The 3rd reich may very well have been communist if Hitler and his Nazi party had not appeared. Economically Germany was so devastated that communism had wide appeal to citizens who saw little hope.
Virtuousity, noble of you to try to find sense in that morass of bollocks, but I’m afraid the passage clearly says that the Communists possessed “power” and that “no other power could stand in its way” - thus, not even Nazism. Secondly, “the power stretched over a long period of time” - this power being the same one the Communists possessed - and was responsible for all three reichs. Given that the first one began in the 9th century, they must have been special time travelling Communists.
Beggorah…there’s bin a fekkin’ Irish invasion…two Dubliners in two posts…arghhh…
It can’t be true that everyone in Dublin is a Jim or a derivation thereof, can it??
jjimm is a Brit(actually he’s as English as can be) living over here after falling for one of out many fair lassies. I on the other hand am a Dub true and true with Guinness running through my veins. I do have some Japanese influences however
Shite…this thread has lost me completely…but then again, it’s prolly because it has been infiltrated by mad Dubliners…(let alone the bottle of Shiraz and the fact that it is nearly midnight here)…
Oh, jjimm, the kam/kumbuckta difference is because I originally registered with KUMbuckta on this board, and it fried my registration, so when I tried to renew it, it told me that KUMbuckta was already ‘taken’, so I had to come up with a new one. So KAMbukta was the next best thing!
Upper Kumbuckta West is a ‘town’ here in Victoria that was created by a particularly infamous TV show, called “Hey, Hey, It’s Saturday”. It started as a kids cartoon program on Saturday mornings, but because of the deviance and debauchery of one Ozzie Ostrich, and a voice-over man, it had to be moved to an ‘Adult’ time-slot. I guess this is not making any sense to you, but Upper Kumbuckta West became sort of the archetypal Aussie small town, with all the problems that small towns have…
I was going to call myself “Yackandandah”…but my mum lives there, so it might be a bit too close to home!
jjimm, you’re too generous to this shithead. You left the best part alone!
Holy Revisionism, Batman!
Does this idiot not know that Hitler called his little expansion plan Dritte Reich because of his admiration for the first two “Reichs”, namely the bloody Greek and fucking Roman Empire??
Astonishing.
Oh, BTW, I picked up the tab for that clamp on your DeLorean. Cleared Dame Street for ya as well, so get in and get 'er up to 88 MPH!
