To: Billy the Mountain
three English translations

Of the 4 given, there are really two: the Soncino (Slotki is one of the Soncino translators, the Gutenberg looks to be a tiny selection of passages from the Soncino) and the Rodkinson. Rodkinson is not very good, the Soncino is generally good.

However, the full Soncino is several thousand pages long. Care to indicate which pages contain the material that substantiates your claim?

The claims I made are common knowledge.

Oh, of course they are. That's why no one can find them anywhere.

Every known copy of the Jerusalem Talmud

There are plenty of known copies of the Jerusalem Talmud, which is a different work from the Babylonian Talmud you linked to. The Babylonian was the popular one in the European world, and the Jerusalem one was not well-known or used much outside of the Holy Land. The Church's destruction of the Babylonian Talmud (not the Jerusalem, which was not mentioned) was based on the claims of converts not actually substantiated by any specific blasphemous references that any prelate cited in any specific document.

Why do you defend blasphemy?

That's the equivalent of asking "when did you stop beating your wife?" You're alleging blasphemy, but have so far proven completely incapable of substantiating your claim. If I'm defending blasphemy, please show me precisely which blasphemy I am allegedly defending. Slander is a sin.
