Subject: RE: BS: Dead babies and Tuam Bon Secours nuns
Eliza, please note that the man I spoke of committed only one crime in his life - he murdered his girlfriend when he was about twenty years old. He has not been out of prison since. His petitions for parole have been denied a number of times.

While I can understand why people think that crimes of the Holocaust should be prosecuted no matter how long ago they took place, I think it is well-nigh impossible to conduct a fair trial of a crime that took place over 69 years ago, amidst the chaos and confusion of war. And those accused were barely adults when they committed their crimes.




Jim Carroll, I quoted your allegation, and I will quote it again: Some of us have been told by Joe that the opinions we hold are not valid because we are atheists and therefore we have an agenda behind what we say and believe.

And once again, I challenge you to find just one quote from me that supports your allegation.

Your opinions, sir, are not valid because you continually fail to support them with logic and evidence. Belief or lack of belief does not affect the validity of an opinion. What counts, is logic and evidence.
