@mitchconner The anti-semitic parts are enjoyed for reactionary reasons. A lot of stuff online is pressure release valves because things suck and yeah there's a lot of small hatted gang involved, but being mad at the jews isn't going to fix it.

A lot of people on here have found Jesus, but only like the Bible for the anti-Semitic parts.
Galatians 3:28 (NASB)
> "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
Colossians 3:11 (NASB)
> "a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free man, but Christ is all, and in all."

@mitchconner I love the old testament because it shows that this isn't a new thing.

I do have to admit there's been plenty of times that I've been broadly smirking during sermons because of this.

@Polfusilier The existence of a single or multiple bad religious leaders is nothing new, and it is temporary. I wish you'd read Chrysostom. He had 8 really long homilies titled "AGAINST THE JEWS".

@BowsacNoodle You're problem isn't bad leaders, it's the content of your religion.

@Polfusilier And yet White people conquered the world under Christianity, to the point where *Christendom* became a word for 'the civilized world' before it was replaced by "The West". You can mock all you want, but I'll die before I abandon my faith, just like my ancestors who fought the Muslims.

@BowsacNoodle European civilization existed before Christianity, and it will exist after. It is not Christianity which made White people great, it is White people who made Christianity as great as it once was. If you want to commit yourself to this dying egalitarian, universalist, refugee loving, religion of meekness, I can't stop you. But I'm interested in having spics and niggers as "brothers and sisters in Christ".

@Polfusilier Meekness means the opposite of what you think. You don't get it, but I don't blame you. You're still my brother as a White man, and I will still have your back. Solidarity is important and exists in multiple ways without contradiction.

@Polfusilier @BowsacNoodle "Meek" - translated from the Greek "Praus" - which meant "War Horse" = "Fearless obedience to God" - not "meek" as in the modern word, at all.
Related, "Turn the other cheek" and "Carry the stone two" were about getting Romans to break their own slave-laws - a form of protest/rebellion against enslavers.
They taught you (and me) wrong in Sunday-school, is the core-problem.
And then, the Scofield Bible reversed the meanings of verses they didn't mis-translate.
