- "Second, I advise that their houses also be razed and destroyed."
- "Third, I advise that all their prayer books and Talmudic writings, in which such idolatry, lies, cursing, and blasphemy are taught, be taken from them."
- "Fourth, I advise that their rabbis be forbidden to teach henceforth on pain of loss of life and limb …"
- "Fifth, I advise that safe-conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews. For they have no business in the countryside …"
- "Sixth, I advise that usury be prohibited to them, and that all cash and treasure of silver and gold be taken from them …"
- "Seventh, I recommend putting a flail, an ax, a hoe, a spade, a distaff, or a spindle into the hands of young, strong Jews and Jewesses and letting them earn their bread in the sweat of their brow … But if we are afraid that they might harm us or our wives, children, servants, cattle, etc., … then let us emulate the common sense of other nations such as France, Spain, Bohemia, etc., … then eject them forever from the country …"

Vincenz Fettmilch, a Calvinist, reprinted On the Jews and Their Lies in 1612 to stir up hatred against the Jews of Frankfurt. Two years later, riots in Frankfurt saw the deaths of 3,000 Jews and the expulsion of the rest.
...
The prevailing view[31] among historians is that Luther's anti-Jewish rhetoric contributed significantly to the development of antisemitism in Germany,[32]and in the 1930s and 1940s provided an ideal foundation for the Nazi Party's attacks on Jews.

If President Trump faces a nuclear crisis, he will listen to the best experts, follow the established best practices, and use his proven professionalism and self-control to get things back to normal. Can you say that with 100% certainty about ALL the candidates?

Ok, that's what the h*ll I was talking about.

Prove that's not just a cheap cop-out by giving me your credit card number. Don't worry, it's in God's hands, oh ye of little faith.
...Because the last time I heard the "God's Hands" excuse it was by a drunk driver. And before that if was someone who let his kid hand out with drug dealers. Do you agree with them that their irresponsibility is OK because it's in God's hands? If not, why are you suddenly saying that we get to be completely and utterly irresponsible when it comes to nuclear war?
