I know that Hitler was very evil, but he wasn't as evil as everyone seems to think. But I do believe that he wanted better for his people, afterall;

Anyone that loves their country that much, can't be all that bad.

The concentration camps came into effect 2 years before the end of the war. If he wanted to destroy the Jews why would he do so, so late?

But, if you would just try and asking God to help you in something (something thats not to over emphazied, like winning a million dollars and the such) and your really mean it it'll, or should happen.
Thats what you call manipulating the Earths magick. Its something Wiccans and other practioners of the craft do...

:

Most of you seem to like death and the such but then when you hear about Bush starting a war you all get pissed.
There's a difference between war and death. War leads to death, its not death itself. I personally dont care if there's a war, thats just me though...

The reality of all of this is that we are humen beings who have made horriable mistakes in the past and have not learned from those mistakes. History always is repeating it self. Its really a shame how we are like this. Why are we like this to each other? Why do we hate each other for our individual religious beliefs? Why does the Eastern world hate the Western world?

I think a lot of it has to do with culture and how we live as oppose to eastern belief. Also I think its that most western belief is Christian. And that hatred has been around since the time of Christ.

Nobody believed in Christ to be the Son of God. Even the Jews dident believe. They thought that the Son of man would be this great king who would conquer nations who oppose God. So they killed him and started resisting Christian belief. All the hatred we see today derives from the time of Christ I think.

Ok I can see that my point did not get across so we can just screw it for now. I don't really mind anyways as I was tired when I wrote it and out of Zone (what I call a strange mood). But I still stick to what I said earlier that if you really pray for something (it could even be a sign asking god to prove his existance) it'll come true, although Jacob seems to have counteracted it with his own religion....:fuzsmile:

Your right Oddsville. If you really prey to God he will prove his existance to you in your heart. But you have to mean it in order for it to happen.

I wouldn't say it was my own religion since i stopped practicing it four years ago since bad shtuffs started to come back round to me (it was this whole x3 rule thing that i ignored, etc) so i stopped. But like i said earlier saying that "God" is answering your prayer isn't exactly proof he exists because it can also be seen as manipulating the Earths magick.

Which then leads me onto my next point. When i was into the whole Witchcrafty thingy of Wicca and the craft in general i did bad things to people, if it was God, why would he answer my "prayers" and do such things? One of these things being knocking a Towny down whilst he was on his bike.

I said earlier on it could also have been coincidence. But the Towny bike thing makes me believe it was me as when i did the incantation i did think of him on his bike and include his bike in my spell sorta thing. So yeh...erm, counter THAT you dirty bitches...

Either way, at the end of our lives we'll see the truth. And if I come across as hating/disliking anyone of a different religion, please burn that thought on a stake.

I accept each and everyone of you for who you are, even Majic.

:p
