We need to watch our words. They can cut deeper than a knife.
Really?
Come back to me after you've actually been cut with a knife by someone with ill intent, then explain to me again how this young lady's poor choice of words cut deeper.
Are we to assign the same level of censorship to the terms gyp, go dutch, welsh on a bet, etc.? Is it horrible and racist and "cuts deeper than a knife" to recognize the general accuracy of the common sterotypes that Finns and Swedes are stolid and humorless, Scots are cheap, and Irishmen are often drunk? BTW, I carry the blood of all the groups I've mentioned here except the Finns and the Gypsies.
I have read some remarkably evil things said over the years by Jews about non-Jews. Should I extrapolate from these idiots to all Jews, as you seem to extrapolate from one non-malicious remark by an American to America in general?
Have you ever used the term "shiksa" to refer to a non-Jewish female? Are you familiar with the origin of this term? Do you consider someone using the term to be racist? Why or why not?
The Talmud has some highly unpleasant things to say about Christ and Christians. Should those passages be edited out because I'm offended? (I'm not, actually, just amused by some who can see only "offenses" committed against their group, not those their own group commits.)
To get back to "words cut deeper than a knife," what happened to "Sticks and stone can break my bones, but words will never hurt me?"
To my mind the words used by others have power to really hurt me only if I grant them that power. The only reason I can think of for doing so is to find a reason to continue to be racially or ethnically offended in a world, or at least a country, that is the most hospitable to Jews in probably their entire long history.
You seem to have a remarkably odd understanding of the relationship between the Pope and the text of the Bible. The Pope has no authority or power to "edit" the text of the Bible. The Pope, according to Catholics, derives his authority from the Bible, not the other way around.
Let us assume your demand for editing of the New Testament were to be acted on. Do you seriously think it would reduce anti-semitism? Don't you think it would tie in remarkably well with the theories of those who think Jews secretly control the world? Would a secret trade in black-market "real" Bibles develop? What would you propose as punishment for those who traffic in or possess such evil literature?
There is a good bit of anti-semitism in the world today. Remarkably little of it has roots in antagonism based on Christian belief. The vast majority is either Muslim or leftist in origin. Do you really think it makes sense to go after a minor and diminishing "cause" of anti-semitism when these other causes are major and growing?
