I fell into a burning ring of fire,
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher ,
And It burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire ..
The ring of fire ..

Friday is coming, which heralds a fuck-off onslaught of German. Not only is it grammar in the morning, followed by 'lets learn stuff about Germany .. in German!', after that I have the joyous event of my muendliche Pruefung. That's 'oral exam' to you and me. Me being all crafty and whatnot, I've very cunningly whored a load of stuff from my GCSE speaking exam. My subject to talk about is thus the Hitler Youth, and how they were influenced and things. In my quest for knowledge, I came across a website that looked very handy indeed. Foolproof to the point of the website being www.hitlercontrol.com. Not a great deal of leeway either way, is there?

It has some good stuff about youth and control and lots of other things that have helped me. But then, at the end, there's a really wonderful section that I didn't expect to find. There's certainly no indication of such a section at any point previous in the site. This is under the heading 'conclusion' and it's pure gold:

Many of the personal characteristics and methods of Adolph Hitler will probably one day be also shared by the coming Antichrist. Hitler tried and failed to become the Antichrist. Soon, this "Beast" with the number "666" will succeed where Hitler once tried but ultimately failed. (Many think that the Antichrist's "666" number will mean that his first, middle, and last name will each have six letters to them.) The day of the unveling of the Antichrist and his Great Whore is coming very soon. Will you ready for the next "Hitler"?

Jesus is not like Hitler. Jesus can give you freedom - freedom from sin and freedom from tyrannical control by any deranged "Hitler"-like man. Jesus will save you from your sin and give you a place in Heaven when you die. Trust Jesus, and he will save you from God's judgment for your sin. Trust Jesus, and may God bless you as you do it.

Wow. I'll be honest, I wasn't ready for that. I'm glad that the many branches of the church have the good decency to tell us, in no uncertain terms, that "Jesus is not like Hitler". Cheers, Christianity. I'd been in a constant state of denial about the similarities between that bearded miracle maker who died for our sins and the little guy with the moustache who enjoyed a bit of the old mass murder on a weekend. Ta for clearing that one up for us.

As I write this, I'm beginning to think that the antichrist has just been unveiled in the form of my housemate next door. It seems the anti-christ is losing at Modern Warfare 2; something within his deep, beasty self has just hurled his controller at the wall and called the game 'a cheating cunt'.
