You said I would "not find a Jew." I found some. Okay, you found some. You got me there. You found some wacko Jews.
Come on, you have to admit:
(1) The Christians think the New Testament preempts the Old Testament; Christ is the Savior; and the Koran is crap.
(2) The Jews think the Old Testament is the final testament; the New Testament is bunk; the Koran is real BS; and Christ was a decent guy, but no son of God.
Agreed, mostly, anyway.
(3) The Muslims think the Old Testament is okay; Jesus was
allright
; but Muhammad and the Koran are the real deal; and you have to die while killing a non-Muslim to get some real good
pu
$$y in heaven.
(4) The Hindus think that the cow in the peasant farm down the road is their great uncle.
(5) And they ALL think they are more right than the other guys.
Can you really disagree with that?
Yes, and I do. Do most religious Jews really not think they have a better view of spirituality than the Christians?
I reiterate, we have a path that works better for us. DO you really think that after suffering the worst discrimination in the history of man (genocide) that you will find a preponderance of Jews who are even slightly interested in discriminating against others for their beliefs? Or than Muslims? Do they not think they have a better view of spirituality than the
Scientologists
? No? Really? I have a lot of Jewish friends. I'll ask them. Do all or most Jews really believe that the Christians, Muslims, or
Scientologists
very likely have a better view of God and spirituality than the Jews do? Really? And even though the Jews are so
unconfident
that they have the better views on anything (never noticed that), they make non-Jews take seven years of tests to learn their way of thinking before the non-Jews can become one?
Just because we hold our views as precious, this does not mean we belittle or devalue other views. We don't consider spiritual perspective a competition where there are first, second and third place winners and so on. We are not trying to prove our beliefs are better than anyone else's views are for them. Only for ourselves. Not buying it.
You don't need to.
If the Jews thought that Judaism was no better or no truer to the God that made them the "chosen people" than is Christianity, Islam, or
Koreshianism
, why would they both even bother with it?
It works for us. I hope you find or have found something that works so well for you. Come on, they must think they are a little more accurate in their beliefs about God than the
Rastafarians
. No? I've seen plenty of Jews make fun of the
whackier
evangelists. I do too. The Jews I know are pretty confident that they have a superior view to those guys. And I think that if they didn't think they had a superior view to even mainstream Christianity or Islam, they'd probably go to church or a mosque instead of a synagogue. They must think they're right about something.
