Re: This Side of Judgment

Actually it's really bad theology, becuase you're making 6 million jews who died in the holocaust into 6 million jesuses, who now apparently died for the greater good of non-jews everywhere. Which is a quite impressive heresy, even for gnostic traditions of christianity.

Then there's the whole thing with turning the holocaust from a horrible and repeatable failure of humanity, to something that happened "because" and now can never happen again, "because", and it in fact ensued that such things would never happen again.

So Rwanda didn't happen, and the Great Leap Forward, and the Starvation of the Ukraine, Pol Pot is a myth of people who just don't love the many many jesuses who died for their sins, etc...etc...

I'm also suspicious that it might imply that God didn't mind the nazi's nationalised version of catholicism all that much.
