Celebrate Reaching Your Weight Loss Goals Without Putting the Pounds Back On
I love your suggestions but I think we should treat ourselves to them not only at the end of the weight loss journey but throughout the journey as well! Books and dinner with friends and days out make us feel good, and we're less tempted by ...

Why Would Anyone Deny the Holocaust?
From a philosophical angle, there are different kinds of belief, and beliefs can have different levels or degrees of justification.All statements about the past are expressions of historical belief, but there are some historical beliefs that are ...

The sunflower clock is nice, indeed, but I find the one with the parachute and the little man so funny! :) Nice selection!

Sam - You appear to be inserting logic and sound historical evidence into the discussion. That will probably be ignored.
In my experience, Holocaust deniers aren't interested in the testimony of anyone who isn't Jewish. All Jewish eye ...

Why Would Anyone Deny the Holocaust?
Frank - You are quite right. I can (and am) Wiccan without any requirement to learn about the Holocaust.
But the point is to frame the Holocaust as a tenet of 'belief'. I could easily have answered, 'Wiccan doesn't require me to believe in ...

And another point that JT overlooks, is the eye witness evidence from camp survivors, not all of them Jews btw and not all of them even having the same native language. How could it have been 'organized' that all camp survivors made ...

It's great that you have a viewing gallery high in the cathedral. That's excellent news. I'll visit it next time I go to London. I'll just remember Victoria Station :) Thanks for this!

Why Would Anyone Deny the Holocaust?
One point that John Thames overlooks when he accuses Jo of being an adherent of a holocaust religion. It is that Jo already has a religion, Wiccan, in which she seems quite content. Her Wiccan faith does not require belief in the holocaust, so ...

3/3
Mr Thames then does something even MORE interesting. He switches from presenting 'facts' that chime with the ideology of Holocaust deniers, into framing historians for outrageous claims instead.
The items listed in his second paragraph ...

On the other hand, disproving those claims implies that they're worthy of debate. That there really is some question mark hanging over them. To fully demolish them, you'd need to establish what he's referring to. That requires elaborating ...

Why Would Anyone Deny the Holocaust?
Now to Mr Thames's actual arguments here.
It's interesting how he sets up his first paragraph. He begins by undermining the mindset of any who understand that the Holocaust truly occurred. He frames them as somehow gullible. We are 'true ...

Thank you for accepting my invitation to bring your polemic here - where it can serve as an example of the Holocaust denying mentality - rather than in the comment section of the other article - where it was utterly irrelevant.
