Christianity is inherently anti-Semitic. Of course, the Televangelists and their followers pretend not to be. But, don't be fooled!

Could you clear something up for me?
Does being an anti-semite mean you have to be against every Jewish individual in the universe?
Do all Jews have the same philosophy, moral positioning, allegiance?

If so, I must be thick because I have trouble with this concept...
I know individuals who have a Jewish background who are secular and just want to live their lives without all the political intrigue...

No it's not. My mother's mother was Jewish, and in Hitler's eyes, that means I am. I'm proud of that fact.

I learned how to say the Hebrew blessing over the bread and wine for myself so that I could honor my heritage, and I took my doctoral degree at the only non-sectarian Jewish university in the US. On purpose.

Been a Christian all my life. The problem is not Christianity, nor Judaism, nor Islam, nor Buddhism, nor Taoism, nor Hinduism, nor FSM-ism. Nor feminism. Nor vegetarianism.

The problem is bigotry and extremism, which is equally ugly no matter what name it hides itself under.

Stop with the hate-bait. Enough already.

Could you explain what you mean by this?
