I’m not remotely pre-occupied with blacks.

Evangelical Chrisitans are fine people, I thank them for their support of Israel.

I do consider their constant attempts* to covert my family and me annoying, but I take it as sincere and so am as kind as one can be about something like that.

* As in, I was in a supermarket yesterday and was cornered and handed bible versus by some old lady. Worst was on a plane crossing the Atlantic ocean.

The whole topic of conversion is a sensitive one in general. I don’t think that the average Christian can grasp how much we shy away from it and why.

I heard a Rabbi speak a few years ago and he said that Christian conversion was the greatest threat to the Jewish people since the holocaust.

Most Jews are liberals who think that evangelicals are all ignorant. In part this hinges on the issue of evolution. Jews think that “inherit the Wind” is historically accurate. Won’t get into the famous confrontation between Darrow and Bryan; however, with regard to the cause of John Scopes, I must say that Scopes is nothing like the one that Dick York played. My mother was a good friend of Mrs. Scopes. When I was in In high school she showed me a Christmas card we got from her. In short, Scopes was an unemployed geologist who was promised a lot if he became party to the suit. Because the case was lost, and Darrow fell out with his clients over appeal tactics, Scopes never got the windfall he expected and felt he had been double crossed. Ended up working in the oil field , He had expected to become a national celebrity. Played for a patsy.

So what has this to do with Jews in particular? Jews are urban folks and when they end up in “outback”places like Mississipi, they are outsiders, as much as any Jewish peddler in old Poland. They don’t get Christian fundamentalism any more than the average evangelical “get” the liberal Jewish point of view.

I'm a Christian myself, but I think that kind of behavior of certain Christians is very annoying. It's narcissism disguised as caring and extremely ineffective. I don't know a single person in my church who converted to Christianity because someone quoted them the perfect verse in a supermarket or an airplane.

You should have handed her the Hebrew originals! (I know, they were probably from the NT, but hey . . . )
