That probably needs to be added to the forum rules. I was not aware that certain topics (other than terrorist support or porn) were verboten.
If I were to delete such a thread, it would be a shocking abuse of power. Thing is, I don’t care.

Just an FYI - I agree with Boru. Since staff is pretty thin these days...that's plenty to make a judgement call.

I figured that, but is scientific evidence disproving certain aspects of the Holocaust considered "Holocaust denial"?
Can we talk about the historical accuracy of the Holocaust?

Your site, your rules. But it would make sense to put it in the forum rules.

So we are "military atheists" (whatever that is) according to a Nazi.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas).

Not surprisingly. It's the most controversial subject I can think of. But, just to be sure, denying the historical accuracy of certain aspects of Russian wartime propaganda is okay otherwise? Ukraine, for example? And believing without question or criticism the death of a large number of Jews is only likely to be deleted in the case of the Holocaust - not the Bible? Also, is it okay to talk about the millions or other deaths caused by WWII?

It is. It's like the law. Anything you do can be regarded as illegal. Anything you say can be regarded as breaking the rules. That's what is meant by your only being banned for breaking the rules.

There is no scientific evidence that the holocaust did not happen, those are only antisemitic fantasies.

I'm not a Nazi, I'm a homosexual and a believer very similar to a Jehovah's Witness, both of which were allegedly gassed at Auschwitz. I used to think anyone who questions the Holocaust was a racist until I was introduced to the actual facts. By a Jew.

Well, actually there is, in the post I wrote and linked to elsewhere. But this discussion is over for my part. No point in pissing people off just because they're ignorant and have no argument. Especially if those people will delete it. You can PM me if you want to debate it.
