Who was Adolf Hitler? Ray Comfort went on the streets in California asking many random individuals this famous question, and then takes this question and compares abortion to it successfully. In the “180” video, one could see that Comfort compared the holocaust to abortion but also compared abortion to salvation. In this video one would find ethos, pathos, and logos contributing to Comforts main points, which are the Holocaust, abortion, and salvation.
The term “Holocaust” originally came from the Greek word “Holokauston” which mean’s “sacrifice by fire,” this word refers to the planned slaughter and Nazi’s persecution of Jewish people (Rosenberg, 2016). The Hebrew word “Shoah,” which means ruin, devastation, or waste,” is also used for the …show more content…
“Spell the word shop. S-H-O-P. What do you do when you come to a green light? Stop. What do you do at a green light? Ha go,” Ray Comfort asked this question to Steve, a pro Nazi believer. Comfort asked him “What if your making a simple mistake with this whole philosophy thing” (Comfort, 2014). If it was this easy for one to mess up with a simple question then how could someone not believe in the Holocaust? “They made up a fake God to protect them because they are a weak race” Steve said (Comfort, 2014). Nazi’s do not believe in God, they believe on the God Hitler made and his Ten Commandments. Hitler said, “Christianity is a nice religion but lets let it die out,” (Comfort, 2014). Hitler did not believe in God, he made up a God and tried being logical and made most Germans assume in the fake God. The reason why the Holocaust started in Germany was because the German people failed to take responsibility for the results of the actions of a criminal that turned the teachings of traditional Christianity on their head and replaced their beliefs with the law of the jungle (Schreiber, 2015). In 1939, the resettlement of Jews under German rule into a concentration camp in Poland. In the long term, in the adequate conditions there, those transported were intended to eventually die (Longerich, …show more content…
“Do you think it is a baby in the womb? Yes some people answered. Okay answer this question, It’s okay to kill a baby in the womb when…? I don’t know most individuals said. When does it become a life” (Comfort, 2014). Comfort successfully used questions like these to turn everyone’s opinion on abortion to actually believing it’s wrong. “Do you value human life? What if Adolf Hitler asked you to kill those innocent individuals to save your own life would you” (Comfort, 2014). Comfort uses these two questions every chance he can get to argue that abortion and Holocaust are both mass killings that need to be stopped. Killing innocent people and children should not be aloud under any circumstances, and no one should ever want to danger the value of life. Ray was smart and did not argue against the interviewees, he just used their opinions against themselves to argue his point. Although it is easy for one to trust their own logic, it is not wise. Till, someone has wrestled with all of the implications of their decisions. It is unlikely that they have made sound and logical reasoning a priority. Ray comfort in his film 180, attempts to bridge the gap between simple and callous decisions making and thoughtful and logical choices. Ray Comfort was very successful
