Hello everyone,
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend.
I made a first post in the general section yesterday and would like to see what sort of opinions I can find here amongst those who perhaps have a more relogiously attuned perspective.
If this is your cup of tea, I would greatly appreciate your checking out the following excerpt and then, if you like, click on the accompanying link to continue reading and post your thoughts.
I greatly appreciate any thoughts or feedback that you might provide.
Thanks for your time and kind consideration! Here is the excerpt:
When I was a boy, I developed a keen interest in World War II history, particularly the European theater. The unparalleled scale and drama of that tumultuous time captivated me. I can remember as a fourth grader purposefully seeking out every book on the subject made available in the public and school libraries and absorbing them with an intensity that certainly would have served me well were I to have applied it to the areas of study that were actually assigned to me in those early days. This infatuation grew over time and blossomed into a deep, relentless sort of fascination that has held sway to this very day.
I often wondered what it must have been like to live in Germany in the 1930s during the ascent of the political savior Adolf Hitler. I pondered the dire economic situation, the crushed national pride, and the desperate longing for restoration to greatness that had permeated the nation’s psyche and paved the way for its enthusiastic embrace of a messiah. How wonderful must it have been to see one’s cherished homeland redeemed and restored to prominence all through the iron will and masterful execution of one great man!
(
If someone, blog pimp or otherwise, posts that Hitler is a savior, I take them at their word. If this isn’t what they mean they shouldn’t excerpt.
HOOAH, Sir!
IATZ
Not sure I should answer you...my mom told me it’s impolite to discuss “relogion” in mixed company.
Oh, I missed it. Another troll who can’t spell.
Wow, do you think you could post something without using the word I? You’re as bad as our dear leader (hint: it’s not always about you.)
Create a Godless nation? You can’t.
You should feel really at home now!
OMG! That is the most awesomest ZOTTING ever!
