How does one fight hate?

See previous post about saving folks via waterboarding.

An important lesson on how real faith (not the stuff that is usually called faith) can help one fight without violence is found in the film weapons of the spirit, about Chambon, a village where a pacifist preacher and his church rescued Jews openly.



The film was once shown on PBS

Camus partly based his book The Plague on the village and the question of how to fight evil...

which is probably why so few have read that book. (which is also a good description of an outbreak of disease).

It says a lot about the world when I can't find a version of the film on line,and that the version that I had bought, which was to be used in schools, took out all references to religion....
