"...another jewish attack on Christianity..."
Actually, I question this guy's Jewishness. Most devout Jews are amicable towards Christians, especially at Christmas time. This guy reminds me of a neighbor I once had: never went to synagogue, didn't keep Kosher, didn't keep the Sabbath, didn't follow the Torah, BUT wore "Jewish" on his cuff and took great offense at anything Christian. Meanwhile, some of our devout Jewish friends in the same neighborhood, respected our Christianity; gave our children gifts at Christmas, etc.
I read an article by a Rabbi once who stated that, from his experience, there were an awful lot of atheists who called themselves Jews and generally discredited the faith and created animosity between Christians and their Jewish cousins in faith.

I think there is a misconception that because someone identifies himself as Jewish or Christian, he must actually practice the faith and adhere to its standards. Among my fellow practicing Catholics, I find there to be a great kinship between Jew and Christian. Our faith emanates directly from Judaism, and follows the same path for much of history.
