Rosen, you're so full of blind, immature hate that I can feel the heat of Hell coming off the tube into my face. Christ was right when said Pharisees were the sons of Satan. I suspect your distant relative was Caiaphas himself, the Chief Priest of the Sanhedrin. Yeah, my fan mail has dropped off, it's now running one for one. One nice letter came from a fan at that great institution, Harvard University. The person actually threatened me with bodily harm. On the other hand, I have had at least two requests for more information. I hope you all see what I mean, about who is repressing whom. Just step one little bit out of the "established" chain of thought, and WHAMMO! And if it goes too far, the ADL starts calling your associates. Smear tactics almost always work. (Do the Knights of Colombus make slanderous phone calls?) Rosen's tactics are exactly the point that I tried to get across-- there are people in this world who want to limit American freedom. They will stoop to no end to crush any thing or anybody that opposes them. They oppose any form of Christianity, any form of Islam, any form of Deism. Hate and physical abuse were exactly the tactics used against Zundel and the Institute for Historical Review. As Americans in a free society, should we condone this? Should we not speak out against it? That's OK, Rich. Christ told us exactly what we're up against. And I believe it. Only time will tell which one of us is right, me or Rosen. You see for yourselves who is calling whom dirty names. You see for your- selves who is getting personal, who is using smear tactics. Christ told us in Matthew 7:16-20, by their fruits shall you know them. I thought the net was for the exchanging of religious belief. It's fairly obvious who turned it into a personal hate campaign. There is a book on the market, "Hostage to the Devil," by Malachi Martin, a Jesuit. Father Martin was an exorcist for a number of years. He decribes the many "Possessions" he has encountered. One of the attributes common to the excorcisms is that the closer he got to the identity of the occupying spirits, the more vile, the more personal the attacks became upon himself. Sound familiar? Sleep well tonight. --DB (P.S. Don't bother Flaming me on the net. I don't subscribe any more.)
