He's entitled to his opinion.

As am I, so this is a totally improper attempt to stifle criticism. That is a fascist tactic. Are you a Democrat?

For your edification, this is Christian belief; it is rather myopic of you to think that everyone in the world shares your opinion.

It is myopic of him to have made such a bigoted remark in the first place. That was my point. To say "whom Christians believe to be the Messiah" would be a perfectly legitimate way to phrase such a position. To phrase it as he does, and as you defend, is an aggressive and deliberately insulting act. Christians never predicted a Messiah. That comes totally from Jewish tradition. Ignoring that inconvenient FACT speaks to his (and your) agenda.

Now, it may shock you to hear me say this

Nope. Doesn't shock me at all. It was clear from the get go that this was your agenda and your reason for posting this screed. That's precisely why I posted what I did. Hatred and bigotry is so unbecoming. It serves no one but Satan.

Grow up.

Regardless of what prejudice you may carry around, I'm not a "Bible thumper." I was raised in the most Jewish community outside Israel and am now married to a Baha'i, so get over your bigoted preconceptions. Hate speech is hate speech.

Nope, not hardly.

That is a fascist tactic.

Start with a false premise, and you reach a false conclusion.

Are you a Democrat?

Are you? Check my profile, sunshine. I've been here much longer than you, and I'd put my credentials up against anyone's.

To phrase it as he does, and as you defend, is an aggressive and deliberately insulting act.

My, you are thin-skinned. "Bigoted"? "Aggressive and deliberately insulting"? Do you always walk around with a chip on your shoulder, just looking to be offended?

Christians never predicted a Messiah. That comes totally from Jewish tradition.

Yes. And Jesus doesn't come anywhere near fitting the description of moshiach. Another 'Jewish tradition' for you.

Hatred and bigotry is so unbecoming. It serves no one but Satan. Grow up.

Look in the mirror, sunshine. Are you really so incapable of dealing with disagreement? That I don't share your beliefs hardly constitutes "hatred and bigotry". In the real world, not everyone agrees with you. Deal with it.

Regardless of what prejudice you may carry around, I'm not a "Bible thumper." I was raised in the most Jewish community outside Israel and am now married to a Baha'i, so get over your bigoted preconceptions. Hate speech is hate speech.

And projection is projection.
