To: Seeing More Clearly Now
Oh, come off it--that's nuts. Hitler was not a Christian, he hated real Christians almost as much as Jews. Why must Jews always reduce everything to the Holocaust? One begins to suspect it fits in with the myth of Jewish choseness. That's probably the real problem--and it pushes other people away. It's become a self-fulfilling prophesy--you clobber the other guy and when he strikes back you call it "anti-Semitism"--and get to feel special, victimized, isolated. This is what's happening now with this film. The Jewish intellectuals who are criticizing it so vehemently are people of influence--one professor from Berkely recently called the New Testament "a nasty little document"--but they are rapidly alienating Christians. Jewish producers, Jewish writers, Jewish historians, Jewish museum curators--all have taken plenty of pot-shots at Christians, in particular linking Christianity itself to the Holocaust. There's a helluva lot of anti-Christian garbage being hurled at us on a regular basis by this culture--and most Christians have restrained a natural instinct to express anger for fear of being called anti-semitic. But the gloves are now coming off--you will hear from us, I guarantee it.

You are right. It's not pretty but largely true.

This little dust up was inevitable. The large secular leftist Jewish presence in the media and movieland are not used to being challenged.

Myth? What are you talking about? The Jews are still the chosen people. The Catholic Church teaches that. But then you are not exactly a mainstream Catholic are you?

Oh poor us. I live in a small city in Texas and there are five Christian churches within a mile of my house. Episcopal, Catholic, two Baptist and a Methodist. And most of them are big huge expensive churches and they are always adding on. Combined worth at least 30 million at least. And that's just one little city. We belly acke but when you look at the reality it is not THAT gloomy.
