Entry: A Nation of Anti-Semites? Fech! Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/a_nation_of_anti_semites_really#10462 Post contents: I was an adult before I was told by Jewish friends that as a Protestant Christian I believed that they and the entire Jewish race had killed Jesus Christ. I tried to explain to my Jewish friends that I didn't think they had killed Jesus, at least not qua Jews, nor did I think that the ancient Hebrews had killed Jesus. I did note that Christian theology taught that all sinners, which includes all humans, had been responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus, but they couldn't or wouldn’t understand what I was saying. In the end I had to conclude that this widespread canard, that white gentile Christians believe "the Jews" killed Christ is actually another example of double talk. In other words, some Jews use this argument to accuse all white gentile Christians of being guilty of what they consider the greatest sin of all, "anti-Semitism." The lesson should be clear, that those who accuse others of believing in or practicing collective guilt shouldn’t themselves practice the thing they preach against. Sent at: 2008 05 16
