On the eve of Passover, on Good Friday, The New York Times published an opinion piece on God, the Bible and Passover. This would not be noteworthy except for the fact that the piece mocked all three.
The two titles of the piece (one in the print edition and one for the Times' digital edition) will give you a good idea of the tenor of the piece: "Let's pass over God" and "In this time of war, I propose we give up God."
The column was written by Shalom Auslander, a Jew who is bitter over his ultra-Orthodox upbringing in Brooklyn. He is also the author of a similarly bitter book titled "Foreskin's Lament."
Here are some of the column's highlights:
Auslander begins his column with a brief explanation of the name "Passover" -- God passed over the homes of the Israelites on His way through Egypt, slaying all firstborns. The author follows that introduction with a proposal: "In this time of war and violence, of oppression and suffering, I propose we pass over something else: God."
He then proceeds to depict the rabbi at his yeshiva as a sadist who reveled in the suffering of the Egyptians, "young and old, innocent and guilty." This rabbi, he claimed, even told his yeshiva class that during the first plague -- which caused the waters of Egypt to turn into blood -- "Mothers nursing their babies...found their breast milk had turned to blood."
Auslander then adds: "'Yay!' my classmates cheered."
They were learning to be sadists like their rabbi.
But the marxists will never mock islam despite the obvious flaws.
New York Times proves they are Godless trash. The end.
Satan promises success during your lifetime here on earth; they never denounce Satan since they know it is he who they worship. Without God there is no Satan so go figure.
Somebody is angry about the deal they got from God. When it comes to wrath, most humans are not going to stand up to God for very long at all.
So they believe their prayers are not being answered. Not true. God answers every prayer, but many times, the answer is “no” or “not yet”. Even on those numerous times when there is a positive response, the sunshine patriots of God will think it is only their own efforts or sheer good luck not at all attributed to divine intervention.
Who cares. They’re irrelevant to my life and my soul.
There was a Freeper the other day on the occasion of Easter to take the time to rail against God and the Bible.
I didn’t really get that. Why on Easter? Seemed like an attack.
It is to the ruling class cult what The Watchtower is to Jehovah's Witnesses.
Same-o, same-o.
Easter trash articles by godless fools, then the inevitable response articles.
I use these to predict when dandelions will show up.
God will not be mocked!
Auslander probably never considered that his rabbi had intimately known people in the rabbis’ immediate family who were tortured and physically destroyed during captivity, war, and pogroms. Auslander offers his childish understanding of world events and their effect on people... Shalom, indeed.
Sounds like they were influenced by supernatural forces. Evil lurks around us all the time but we are so tolerant of it, we don't see it.
Sounds like Mr. Auslander needs to find Jesus. At the end of his column, he writes:
“This year, at the end of the Seder, let’s indeed throw our doors open — to strangers. To people who aren’t our own. To the terrifying “them,” to the evil others, those people who seem so different from us, those we think are our enemies or who think us theirs but who, if they sat down around the table with us, we’d no doubt find despise the pharaohs of this world as much as we do and who dream of the same damned thing as us all:
“Peace.”
Jesus Christ says:
You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. (Matthew 5:42-43
You shall love your neighbor as yourself. (Matthew 22:39)
I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. (John 13:34-35) also in John 15
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. (Matthew 5:9)
As you enter a house, wish it peace. (Matthew 10:12)
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid. (John 14:27)
During this Easter season, may the peace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be with you.
I can’t remember the Freeper’s name, but it was someone who I have seen on here for a while, and didn’t suspect an attack from that quarter.
IS there ANY city of size in the USA that has a larger % of Jewish population????
And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
