If something you knew to be true was labeled "hateful" by all of the "tolerant" and "broad-minded" folk around you, would you disbelive your eyes?

Of course not. And this is the point you are missing: not all the truth must be said.

YOu actually follow this rule every day: your teenage son or daughter is about to make what you think is a (Small) mistake but, trying to give some room, you don't say anything, letting the child see the consequences on his own. HEy, even simpler: you see a peace of lettuce stuck in your guest's teeth, and you do not say anything.

If I said that only Jews are human, you would go through the roof: " How dare you exclude me," you would say. But you yourself so easily state, "THis is a Christian nation."

No, it's not about what you see. It's about mere tack and politeness. It's surprising that not only you do not exhibit the latter -- you even cannot tell these two notions apart.

The American Heritage Dictionary describes the Talmud as ""constituting the basis of religious authority for traditional Judaism" and it is the most important religious work of the Jewish people, the chief canon of their religion.

Is this an accurate statement?

Dude, you are missing what I am saying. When I say "This is a Christian nation" I am not saying throw away anything that Judaism has given our culture.

On the contrary. The Ten Commandments are very real to you and to me.

To me, the Jews were and are a Chosen People. The reason why America is great is because she is good and because she is good to the Jews.

You will not find a more emphatic supporter of Israel than yours truly on this forum.

I truly think you misunderstand what I am saying. 'Pod
