Oh I am sorry... holo is whole and cuastion is burnt. the combination of holo and caustion create the word holocaust or wholly burnt. See there is a huge difference in wholly burnt and genocide, that and auschwitz was only shipped roughly 30 tons of coke which was enough to roast only 2 jews per day. so lets see thats 700x4 = 2800 max if they were to eat their food raw and go without heat in the winter. So whats your point change the language to any damn slang that suits your agenda? quote:
ORIGINAL: thornhappy Greek civilization is hardly "the beginning of time", and the translation of the Tanakh into the Septuagint was done around 70ad, IIRC. Holocaust was used to describe Jewish sacrifices only because of some base similarities with the Greek tradition (Jewish tradition is much older than the Greek civilization). So it seems you are the one misusing this term. As usual though, you offer up no proof but your own declarations, when things aren't going your way. quote:
ORIGINAL: Real0ne well you see words have meanings that have etymology that dates back to the begining of time. Retards using words completely incorrectly destroy the language as have the attorneys done. You want to hang yourself with literary suicide be my guest but do not expect me to join you. quote:
ORIGINAL: thornhappy I really can't figure out your obsession with the original definition of a holocaust. It only was applied to Jewish sacrifices when the Tanakh was translated into Greek. And it also applied to Greek sacrifices: These are the two ideal types of Greek sacrificial ritual; they are appropriate to different divinities, done for different purposes, and conducted by different methods. Holocausts are apotropaic rituals, intended to appease the spirits of the Underworld, including the Greek heroes, who are spirits of the dead; they are also given to malign powers, such as the Keres and Hecate. One of the earliest attested holocausts was Xenophon's offering of pigs to Zeus Meilichius.[1] Holocausts are conducted at night, without wine, and offer black-hided animals at a low altar, with their heads directed downwards; in all these they are opposed to the commensal sacrifice given to the Olympian gods. (This distinction is between extreme types, and was somewhat exaggerated in the early twentieth century, as by Jane Harrison; considerable evidence has been also been found of commensal sacrifice offered to heroes.)[2] I've seen "holocaust" used to describe a variety of events ranging from the firestorms in Peshtigo, WI and Chicago (on the same day), and the bombings at Dresden, Nagasaki, and Hiroshima. quote:
ORIGINAL: Real0ne I mean I have no evidence that Hitler ever performed the Holy burnt offering, the Olah sacrifice to G-D. So do you have any evidence that Hitler did the Ritual Sacrifice? You arent that stoopid that you do not know that a holocaust is a fully burned offering that is a sacrifice of an animal of human to G-D. I mean you do know that do you not?
