(Jewish, you know), he didn't patent his vaccine.

Saying that Christians hate Jews is just as much of a sterotype as
saying that all Jews are good business people, and just as offensive
if not more so.

Yes, well, I was discussing a period in the United States in the 1950s
and early 1960s, when there was plenty of overt discrimination against
Jews in the United States. Your boy Nixon was a raving anti-Semite. And
those Christian Southern Strategy Republicans? Ever hear a meeting of
them talking about blacks and Jews? I have.

And there is plenty of historical data indicating Christian hatred of
Jews in this country and, of course, in Europe throughout the centuries.
Ruth Bader Ginsberg has spoken publicly about the antisemitism she
faced, as has Bernard Marcus, one of the founders of Home Depot.

Who do you think the antisemites are in this country, if not mostly
Christians?

Regardless, it is still a repugnant stereotype.

It could be the self loathing Arabs, who are actually semitic people too.

Funny how that Harry is so adamant about Christianity being just another
far-fetched fairy tale (to which I agree about it being) but doesn't
seem to say the same about Judaism.

All religions are "far-fetched" fairytales. I don't mention Jews, Sikhs,
Hindus, et cetera, very often because they don't seem very interested in
turning my country into a theocracy. If the Christians would just keep
their fairytales to themselves, and not try to shove their religion and
their strange beliefs down everyones' throats, I wouldn't pay any
attention to them, either. It makes no difference to me whether someone
worships a pet rock, the sun, or any other deity-like figure or
imaginary being.

Every time you spew this nonsense I have to giggle. When was the
last time some Christian, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist or atheist for that
matter try to "shove" their religion and strange beliefs down your
throat ?

I've never had a Muslim, Buddhist, or Jew try to shove their religious
beliefs down my throat either directly or through legislative action.
Christians try it and do it all the time.

Just about every Saturday when the Jehovah's Witnesses come to the
'burb!

I do think Harry is a bit disingenuous when you see the hateful things
he characterizes all christians as being and then gets offended when
someone implies jews are good businessmen.



I don't characterize "all" Christians as being anything, other than,
like believers in other religions, believers in superstition.
