David Lind inquires:
Which absolute truth of the Holocaust? That it happened? The
reasons
that Hitler pursued it? The reasons that it was able to eliminate
millions of human beings? And as far as danger in standing in front
of a train on the tracks, at what point does it become dangerous? 50
feet? 10 feet? 1 foot? At five hundred (or more) feet it may be
more exciting to a thrill seeker than dangerous (after all, they have
time to jump off before it gets to them). And deaths caused by
AIDS...is it AIDS that causes the death or does AIDS create a
situation likely to result in death?
Not trying to be a smart alec - seriously inquiring to see your take
on these thoughts.
It's all good.
Shalom
