[Cicero]

I’m not sure that Ann phrased it exactly as I would have done, but Christians believe that Jesus is the promised Messiah spoken of by the Jewish prophets, and that He represents the fullfilment of the Old Testament Covenantal promise.

Jews don’t believe this.

So, why is it wrong for Ann to say what she and other Christians believe, and for Jews to say what they believe?

I understand perosnal beliefs, but are you really telling me that as a function of their faith Christians believe America would be a better nation if the Jews here became Christians.

Perhaps Ann shouldn't be taken seriously, but that supposition, which in a serious moment I doubt Ann would defend, is what is under discussion.

Not your belief that I would benefit by accepting Christ, but the belief that if I and all Jews would accept Christ this would be a better nation.

It's offensive.

And out of keeping with the traditions of our nation.

I have no problem if she had said the above because that is the absolute truth according to us Christians but she went much more than that and started talking about "perfecting the Jews" if they convert to Christianity, it is very wrong to say this in a political interview or in a political debate.
