    The Jews assert that the prophet of Islam and the savior of Christians are bullshit. How could they not be hated for that?

    Apparently (some of?) the Christians hate Jews for killing Jesus. This is so bizarre I didn’t believe it at first.

    a) I thought it was the Romans that killed him, which makes the placement of the Vatican in a bit of an awkward position.

    b) I thought the killing of Jesus was an essential part of the master plan.

    Here in the US, meanwhile, we are racing towards becoming a Christian State. I wonder which of the precise denominations will end up winning.

    I’ve listened to half a dozen of his vids. Sharp guy. Incisive. Logical. To the point. Good and caustic. Disagree with his take on genocide but otherwise am on board.

    I think a good book is waiting to be written that explains the origins, history and alliances that have formed in the latest calumniation and newest obsession that is modern Jew hatred. Jew hatred produces strange bedfellows as putative progressives suck face with islamists.

    I stumbled onto part of the story listening to a historian who speaks from first hand knowledge as a former Russian. So under the Soviet Union after the 67 war when Israel dispatched its Arab attackers the Soviet Union was chagrined and shocked since they had trained and supplied the Arabs. So they started the narratives we hear today about zionism, colonialism and the rest of the BS. This speaker says she heard all of the shit we hear today. What is old is what is new. That is what’s up. You may remember how tough it was in the Soviet Union and how it caused many Jews to hightail it out of there.

    The story goes that the Romans asked the Jews what they should do with Jesus and then Pilot washed his hands of it. I think that is nonsense and we see the roots of antisemitism getting scribed-in right there. Jews rejected the Jesus myth, so sure they have to be hated.

    In any event, without the execution, Christianity would not exist, so hating Jews for not saving Jesus is extra stupid.

    @jakelafortYou may remember how tough it was in the Soviet Union and how it caused many Jews to hightail it out of there. 

    I have a friend  who was a child refugee and who was forced to leave southern Russia in the late 60’s.

    Free Barabbas or Free Ross? Which would be the better choice?

    Fellow Unbelievers,

    More comments on the Sunday School topics:

    Environment: Venezuela is first Andean country to lose of all its glaciers

    That’s okay. Between Chavez and Maduro running the place, everybody with sense who gets the chance is getting out of Venezuela. 😱🇻🇪😱

    New Theism is nothing but religious Valium.

    And

    Cuckoo Christianity: The Rise of faithless Faith.

    While Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Douglas Murray won’t be going to Hell if they stop being Atheist, they may find themselves some self-made Hell trying to live out their new-found Christianity.

    Sunday Book Club: The Religion of Whiteness.

    There are many people who incorporate racism and racial supremacy into their religion e.g. Ancestral Worship, Asatru Norse Paganism, Kach and Kahane Chai among Jews (banned in Israel and the U.S. as terrorist groups,) Mormons before the 1970s, Christian Identity, The World Church of the Creator, The Nation of Islam, The Black Hebrew Israelites, Egyptian Polytheism among Afrocentrists, etc. All are valid subjects of Sociological study, as well as potential threats to watch.

    However, what it looks like these two authors Emerson and Bracey have basically did is cobble together some anecdotal practices and traits they observed in some churches, called the traits “Whiteness,” then dubbed them all a religion.

    And when they still call it “Whiteness” even when non-“Whites” have the practices and traits, that just tells me that Emerson and Bracey do not consider their position about “Whiteness” to be falsifiable. People in the Comments on the article also pointed to the flaws in their methodology.

    Sociologist and Economist Thomas Sowell would have done a much better job on the phenomenon, complete with primary sources of history, Censuses, charts, graphs, and a much bigger sample. Sowell would also rightly note that gun culture exists regardless of religious, Christian and racial lines.

    Do better, Emerson and Bracey and maybe you can do what Sowell does so well.

    I’d like to see a social psychology experiment that goes as follows.

    Protests on a magnitude equal to the current university students who are anti-israel, pro hamas. No BS narratives to inflame emotions. Just factually how Palestinians are treated in Islamic nations. And Islamic nations treatment of LGBT, women, apostates, civil rights in general. Also nations supporting terrorism and the various Islamic terrorist groups and their CV’s.

    Would it aWAKEn some students?
