Don't you ever look anything up? The swastika means "to be good." It is a lucky symbol and was used for that long before Hitler adopted it. Don't you see the sun and its rays in the symbol? Stalin killed more people than Hitler did and he killed Jews and Christians. Look it up! You know you wouldn't live in such a weird world if you simply had the ability to look stuff up rather than guess or whatever you do.
Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. Marcus Aurelius

"When it shall be said in any country in the world, my poor are happy; neither ignorance nor distress is to be found among them; my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars; the aged are not in want, the taxes are not oppressive; the rational world is my friend, because I am a friend of its happiness: When these things can be said, then may the country boast its constitution and its government." -- Thomas Paine: The Rights Of Man (1791)

What is refered to as a "swastika" now was used for eons by Vedic, American Indian and other peoples. It properly is a symbol of the Sun, or of the "life force". How sad to just make crap up.................... |

Where does Pol Pot fit in all that?
Dark Energy. It can be found in the observable Universe. Found in ratios of 75% more than any other substance. Dark Energy. It can be found in religious extremists, in cheerleaders. To come to the conclusion that Dark signifies mean and malevolent would define 75% of the Universe as an evil force. Alternatively, to think that some cheerleaders don't have razors in their snatch is to be foolishly unarmed.

According to how Theinterpreter is determine who the "antichrist" is, he should be claiming God is the "antichrist" or Satan, instead of someone else. This monster he calls God, committed the greatest genocide know to man.

Bill, What I find amusing is that both TheInterpreter and Nancy insist that Revelation is the inerrant "Word of God," but almost totally disagree on its interpretation. God should have written it with less apocalyptic symbolism and more clarity. Then again, if John of Patmos wrote it himself he would have known the people at the end of the first century, for whom he write it, would understand what what his symbols were meant to represent.
