Maybe because the OT portrays God in a less than favorable light. Every atheist and pagan I’ve discussed religion with always, without exception, takes issues with the way God behaves in the OT. Sure they nitpick certain NT passages here and there, but the overwhelmingly bloodthirsty picture of God in the OT makes an effective apology extremely difficult. If you know of any websites or books that present a good apology, not written by Christians (since they can fall back on Jesus), please PM me.

Believe me, you're "preacing to the choir," brother! I've always been by turns frustrated and enraged at the way "philo-Semitic" liberals treat the Jewish Bible while all the time proclaiming disdain for chr*stianity and their great "love" of the Jewish people!

Unless the Jews themselves begin to engage in apologetics (the topic of Klingoffer's article) then I'm afraid there's very little we non-Jews can do, and G-d will remain "the big goy in the sky."

BTW, I've always maintained that J*sus is just an excuse for Jewish liberals to malign Fundamentalist chr*stians; the real reasons Jewish liberals hate these people so much is that the latter, through their familiarity with the TaNa"KH (Hebrew Bible) know that Judaism is not identical with urban, cosmopolitan hyperliberalism. Of course, these same "anti-chr*stian" liberal Jews then demand legislation that sounds like it came right out of the "sermon on the mount!"

I'm a Noachide and not a Jew, but you might find my web site of some interest.

Keep reminding these liberal "lovers of the Jews" that the "old testament" is JEWISH!!! PS: You have no idea how tired I get of evolutionists battling "chr*stianity" by tearing Sefer Bere'shit (Genesis) to shreds!
