On the other side you have about 1/4 of humanity who've been taught since they were very young that this tiny little minority of people that is alive today is responsible for the death/murder of their deity over 2,000 years ago.

Sorry, but your numbers are completely wrong. I'm assuming that you are claiming that 1/4 of the world's population is Christian, or claims to be Christian. I don't have any numbers that will dispute that.

However, there is only a small fraction of the 1/4 that has been taught anything close to what you believe it taught.

Real Christians have not been taught that the Jews are responsbile for the death of Jesus. That's patently false. No, we are taught that the Jews are God's chosen people who, for reasons unknown to us, rejected Jesus as the Messiah when He was here 2000 years ago.

But, we are also taught that God has a redeeming plan for His people (the Jews) and that they remain God's chosen people who will be protected by God through the end of time.

Now, if I'm Christian, and I've been taught that the Jews are under God's protection, then what in the blue blazes would I be doing to try and eradicate His people.

No, it's closer to some small percentage of people, who claim to be Christians, have been taught through the years that the Jews are responsible for Jesus death. In reality, these are people who are already anti-Semetic, and just want something to blame on the Jews. People who believe this aren't really Christians, no more than the Nazi's were Christians.

Don't paint Christians with the broad brush of Nazism. It ain't right, and it ain't correct.

All of that being said, I cannot disagree with your last paragraph. The comment you were responding to was completely out of line with what Christians really believe as can be attested to what has been posted on this thread by the vast majority of Christians here.

Christians, you cannot claim, at any time, that "the Jews" killed Christ. They didn't. It was God's plan. Don't give blame to the Jews for something that God intended and that Jesus willingly gave His life for. It's a stupid why to make an arguement.

"Real Christians have not been taught that the Jews are responsbile for the death of Jesus. That's patently false. No, we are taught that the Jews are God's chosen people who, for reasons unknown to us, rejected Jesus as the Messiah when He was here 2000 years ago.

Well said, and bears repeating.
