If Judaism preached that all Christians are fated to be spend eternity in the form of watermelon Gummi Bears, it wouldn't matter to me in the least.

We don't preach that so it is a moot point. At any rate, Jews are such a small minority that you can not comprehend what it is like to have the vast majority of people that you respect referring to what your beliefs are as not only "wrong," but doom you to the fires of hell. It does not so much matter to me as it does annoy me that this view is accepted as "mainstream" and in no way meant for Jews to take any offense. Can you not see that being in a small persecuted minority destined for extinction might make these disagreements a little more sensitive? Can you not comprehend that on your Christian majority protected perch?

"A small persecuted minority destined for extinction?" Who do you think you're kidding? Jews in America make far more money and have more power than the average American. In proportion to their numbers they're over-represed in law schools medical schools, college faculties in general, in the media, Hollywood, on best seller lists, on the editorial page, on the Forbe's 400 list of richest Americans, in congress and on the U.S. Supreme Court. Not only are Jews not persecuted in America, polls show they are actually one of the most "admired" groups in the country. Where have you been for the last 60 years? In the Warsaw ghetto?
