Doesn’t every culture come to realize murdering millions of people is not merciful and not what any religious teaching endorses?
How could they just do that and not say "this is wrong!" and refuse to commit murder. any society that endorses mass murder will inevitably turn murderous on its own people. There is no justification for genocide.
Why did they do this 1939-1945??? How can they justify this what was done in Nazi extermination camps?
—————
The "final solution" was the Nazis’ code name for the deliberate, carefully planned destruction, or genocide, of all European Jews. The Nazis used the vague term "final solution" to hide their policy of mass murder from the rest of the world. In fact, the men at Wannsee talked about methods of killing, about liquidation, about "extermination."
I have noticed lately a plethora of random mass murders on innocent victims. I realize that these things happen, and have happened historically. However, people with knives in China attacking innocent unknowing victims, whole families are wiped out, by one sole family member before committing suicide, not to mention Columbine; seem to emote an echo of "it’s happening again??? . These kind of murders seem synonymous with a kind of trend. Could social, political, and economic, strife cause this problem . I wonder on a time line when did these things statistically happen more so, than maybe other decades, or centuries (if historically legit records exist).
I’m talking about random mass murders in society outside of war, politics, genocide.
I’m sure I’ve killed thousands of ants on purpose in my lifetime, that in human terms would be mass murder, genocide by some. So, if all creatures are living, and God created all these creatures, isn’t killing thousands of ants the same thing as killing thousands of humans? Keep in mind these murders were not for survival, but rather just, I wanted them out of my house. And so if you think it’s irrational to go to hell for killing those ants, why is it rational to go to hell for killing humans? Even thousands of humans. Sure you could bring up the arguement, the universe was made for us, and so if you kill another of the "most supreme creation by God, you should go to hell. But was it really made for us? Out of the 200 billion + galaxies in the universe, there is an almost 100% chance that there will be another race equal to or smarter than us, that are not human. Why should we be so egotistic that we think the universe was made selectively for us?
Against the countless peoples it has oppressed and murdered around the world. To India for its brutal occupation and the mass murder during the suppression of the 1857 uprising and the millions of deaths in the famine the Brits caused in the 1870’s. To South Africa for crimes such as the worlds first concentration camps during the Boer War. To the native peoples of Australia and New Zealand for the genocide there. To Kenya for the atrocities during the 1950’s Mau Mau revolt. To Ireland for 800 years of brutal occupation and the collusion with Loyalist terrorists in the murder of innocent Catholics in the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s. When will the world realise the oppression that the world has suffered at the hands of the Brits and when will they make them pay for their crimes?
I’m doing an essay and I can’t think of any good discriptive words for Holocaust. I don’t want anything like ‘horrible’ or ‘terrible’ or anything related. What I’m thinking of is catastrphe, massacre, mass murder, genocide, or annihilating. Can you think of anything else related to these?
I believe all genocide up till today are the same. they all have the same purpose, to kill a group of people. it’s all a big mass murder, and the leaders basically think of a reason to kill them. the only difference is that the Holocaust had a crematory, and there were more people killed. people are being brutally murdered in darfur, and people were brutally killed in rwanda. you tell me, should the nazi’s be called more evil?
Here’s what he said in 2000:
"The twentieth century was marred by wars of unimaginable brutality, mass murder and genocide. History records that the Armenians were the first people of the last century to have endured these cruelties. The Armenians were subjected to a genocidal campaign that defies comprehension and commands all decent people to remember and acknowledge the facts and lessons of an awful crime in a century of bloody crimes against humanity. If elected President, I would ensure that our nation properly recognizes the tragic suffering of the Armenian people."
Now that congress is ‘recognizing the tragic suffering of the Armenian people’ why is he against it? He was elected President and now he doesn’t want it recognized. Why the change?
I was arguing with my friend who claims that it was not a genocide because according to the dictionary; noun the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.
So, he’s saying since Native Americans still exist today, it shouldn’t be counted as a genocide. I said you could say the same about the holocaust, and he says that was not a genocide either. Just a mass murder. Can I get some clarification? Thanks.
We have six or so Billion people on this planet. I am thinking that is a few too many. How would you go about decreasing the population, without mass murder, genocide, holocausts, etc? In other words…how would you fix it with very few deaths? In addition, No, I do not need you to tell me how horrible the question is. Also, “god” has nothing to do with this.
