But that was before I became acquainted with Pastor Scott Lively, president of "Defend the Family" and co-author of The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party. He appeared recently in a segment on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
Pastor Lively told Jason Jones, "Open homosexuals are distinct from everybody else, men and women, in being exceptionally brutal and savage....Adolf Hitler used homosexual soldiers because they were more savage than natural men," adding, "they didn't have the restraint a normal man has. It was easier for them to do some of the terrible things that the Nazis did."
Researching Pastor Lively, I discovered more interesting nuggets about Hitler and his cronies. The initial meeting of what would become the Nazi Party took place in a gay bar. Each young Brownshirt was matched up with a homosexual male adult to initiate him into the league of gay Aryan supermen.
So how to explain the extermination of gays by the Third Reich? Pastor Lively has a simple answer. "The Nazis did persecute homosexuals to distract public attention away from their homosexuality."
To be honest, I was shocked at the number of sites recommending The Pink Swastika as well-supported historical fact being suppressed by gay activists and even by the National Holocaust Museum. The book is now in its fourth edition due to nice Christian groups all over the internet plugging it almost as hard as they peddle the Almighty.
Then it started to make me ill. WWJB, people? What would Jesus blog? I'm pretty sure he wouldn't take to the Web in support of a book that advocates murdering homosexuals. I'm not talking about the Nazis this time: I'm referring to Pastor Lively's book, sermons and life's work. So I'd like to let Jason Jones take over and make light of this bizarre yet influential man.

Pastor, you seem to me every bit as brutal and savage as the fantasy you promote as truth. Far be it from me to suggest that you tell this story to the next guy you see with a swastika tattoo. I'm sure he'd enjoy acquainting you with your feminine side.
But that wouldn't be very Christian of me, would it? Not that I'm Christian; I'm not. I just have a conscience. Since you most likely believe in an afterlife, though, allow me to paint you a picture. Fire. Brimstone. You, sucking Satan's balls for all eternity. Bon appetit!

while i don't agree with lively's own views on homosexuality, i'd say this is quite an interesting take nazism and the atrocities committed by the third reich. it might show the entire picture, but history stories rarely ever do that. instead, they present a side that we may have forgotten or just have never seen.
but like i said, it would be ignorant to use lively's findings and theses as a basis for my own thoughts concerning such topics. i would like to read this book, though, and perhaps review those that contradict these ideas.
While I applaud your openness, I don't share your desire to read this book. I do not wish to give any money to Lively or those of his ilk. I prefer to read history as opposed to fiction masquerading as fact.
Although I am sure there were gay men in the Nazi Party, that does not support Lively's assertion that homosexuals are savages used by Hitler to do terrible things that a heterosexual would find repugnant. Entertaining that idea for even a moment is foolish.
History is meant to give us perspective and facts. Yet still there are those who deny the Holocaust.Demonizing people in this way is something worthy of Hitler's own propaganda machine, in my opinion.
you're right kathleen....jesus never supports hate.
@mary w.: It just blows my mind how many people accept this as fact. I guess it rationalizes their hatred of people who are unlike them....
