• Death by Propaganda

    I learned one thing a few days ago while visiting YouTube's Timeline series. Apparently Joseph Goebbels received the death sentence for changing the minds of the public in NAZI Germany to hate on the Jewish folks to the point of
    mass murder. But Goebbels never directly killed a person, as far as my research shows, he was put to death for his propaganda, for his point of view... I'm thinking that the death sentence was a bit harsh, but then if it wasn't for him there might be many more Jewish people who survived the Final Solution (the end-game of the NAZIs to murder every possible Jewish person
    that they could get their hands on). Goebbels was just a journalist and propagandist. Yes, what he said was horrible, yes, more people died, but are we willing to be a society that limits the freedom of speech? If I were in charge I'd put Goebbels in jail for 25 years and give him the opportunity to become a Christian and be saved eternally. The death penalty on J.G.
    resulted in his eternal damnation; perhaps that is what people wanted, but as
    a Christian I don't want anyone to be lost. I totally disagree with what Goebbels did but governments who have a policy of murder are not the kind of places that I'd like to live in.

    Cheers!
