RR I too was raised as a Christian (Catholic). And eventually came to see that
organized religion is primarily a mechanism of control. (though it does provide
a moral platform for children, and, is of value in that respect.) But even
from this vantage point of old age and years of world travel and life
experiences, there is one thing about Christ that stands out above all the
other religious figures of history; The power or Christianity (in its true
sense) is predicated of love and forgiveness. This is unlike any other
religious belief. The Jews expected the messiah to come with thunder and
lightening to nuke the Romans. They are still waiting for that event in the
modern context. It's not going to happen as long as human nature is what it is.
And if they were honest, they would admit that the Roman Empire was taken
apart by the precepts of Jesus Christ - "Forgive them Father for they know not
what they do." not by a Zeus-ian figure descending from the clouds, hurling
thunderbolts at their enemies. The German psyche, from Hitler to Merkel, is
still suffering from its fatal flaw; the darkness of the Teutonic forest where
deformed creatures of fear and loathing still roam, waiting only to be
unchained by demigod politicians. Thus an 87 year old woman is led away in
chains for daring to voice her opinion. At the end of the (modern) day, the
Jews of Stanley's generation need to get over themselves. No one except
historians and self serving politicians CARE anymore about trials and
tribulations that occurred centuries ago. We have our own, more immediate
problems, like the head cutting Islamic troglodytes that are threatening the
world now. JS --------- Original Message ----------

Subject: [sparkscoffee] Was Jesus an anti-semite?

Awhile back I remarked about a 87 year woman in Germany who was arrested and
sent to prison for the 'crime' of being a holocaust denier. The discussion that
followed lead me to investigate her claims and what I discovered made me a
holocaust denier, too.
I had always believed the story. It was drilled into my head since I was a
young child and I was incessantly reminded about it on the TV and in movies.
But once I investigated the actual evidence I realized that I had been duped.
Making this discovery changed my life. It occurred to me that if I had been
lied to about this then chances are that I had been lied to about other things
as well. Once I started investigating the things I was being told by the
government and the mainstream media I realized how much of it was lies. I was
being systematically being brainwashed with propaganda 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week.
It also helped that I moved to Costa Rica and watched the TV there which
actually reports the news, without bias, and without any political propaganda.
What a HUGE difference!
The greatest benefit I received from my discovery about fake news is that I no
longer get an emotional reaction to what I see or hear on either the mainstream
or the alternative media. One reason is because very little of what is reported
as news is actual news. Most is just opinion and at most it's just somebody
reporting what they were told by somebody else, without any first hand
knowledge or verification. In the U.S. it's almost all just political
propaganda.
When I shared my discoveries about the holocaust story I was labeled an
anti-semite, neo-Nazi and Jew hater.
I get it. Hitler and the Jews did not like each other. Hitler didn't like Jews
because he was afraid of the Jewish Bolsheviks who supported the Soviet Union.
The truth is that he didn't like anybody that wasn't a Aryan German. The Jews
didn't like Hitler because he wanted them to leave Germany. Unfair perhaps, but
that's one of the dangers of a democracy when you are not in the majority.
I have had a long life, most of it spent traveling around the world. I have
known people of all races and religions and have met very few people who could
have done what the Jews accuse the Nazis of doing on such a large scale. The
holocaust story is more like the plot of a grade B Hollywood horror movie.
If "anti-semitic" means somebody that doesn't believe Jew bullshit then I am
guilty as charged.
It does not mean that I hate Jews.
I feel sorry for them.
As a Christian child I was made to recite the Lord's Prayer which goes in part
"forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. "
Jesus taught that we must forgive and forget the wrongs that are done to us.
Why? Because the past is the past and no longer exists. Remembering and
reliving the past serves no useful purpose. Carrying around a burden of fear
and hatred will destroy your life. We live in the present. Jews COULD learn
much from their experience in Nazi Germany, but blaming their mistakes on
somebody else is not it.
