The Apostles were the first “Jews for Jesus”.
Ofcourse.. if you listen carefully to lefties ...THEY...are the most intolerant of all people. it’s in their DNA.
I notice he didn’t mention the pogroms of Communist Russia.
“...call it Libertarianism, call it Tea Baggery, whatever —that hates government.”
I guess this jerk made the point he was not expecting to make. Hates govt? Well this jerk is in Chicago where the city is broke, incredibily corrupt, murders off the charts, high taxes, everyone in govt is on the take.
What’s not to like about govt? East Germany was probably a nicer place to live in versus Chicago.
He probably doesn’t get bent about pro-abort “Catholics” either.
Oh yeah..that goes without saying.
Actually I think it would have been Mary, then Joseph...but I get your point.
And the barbaric raiding of the kibbutz’ in early Israel where Arafat killed as many jews as possible, especially the little children.
Perhaps he might want to read the story of the attack on Kyriat Shmona by Arafat’s murderers.
Your property isn't your own these days (even the Supreme Court of Leftists decided that you could be forced to sell out to a private company if it means more tax revenue).
Yet I didn't hear the Left speak up when businesses discriminated against Republicans in employment and lodging in the wake of the 2004 election. No room at the inn in some bed and breakfast if you'd voted for Bush. Also there was a computer company that blacklisted employing Republicans.
Because while sexual and religious beliefs are protected now under hate crimes laws (sexual beliefs weren't always so protected), political beliefs (or even science beliefs questioning global warming etc) are not so protected. Someone questions every point of the theory of evolution? Mock them as believing that Jesus fought dinosaurs with a lightsabre.
Now you'd THINK that bit of antiChristian bigotry would likewise be called discriminatory and intolerant but it isn't.
Wow. Just wasted two minutes of my life reading this idiot’s diatribe.
Ooh, the left-winger warface. Scary.
What a comparison! A "drag ball"?!?!?
Wasn’t Jesus a Jew? His first followers were Jews. In fact, I think one of the first big “debates” among Jesus’ followers were whether and/or to what extent goyim had to learn and follow Jewish Law to be a member of The Way.
Christians really need to get in touch with their Jewish roots, and Jews ought to take seriously Jesus’ claim to be their Messiah.
Translation: “I’m extremely open-minded about drag queens, but I draw the line at Christians and libertarians.”
I’m guessing that if a Jew can be an atheist, then one can be a Christian, too. Seems to me we are conflating two different things, the ethnic Jew and the religious Jew.
But then, what do I know? Only that everyone needs Christ.
Neil, if you really, really don’t like Jews for Jesus and don’t want to convert, I for one won’t fight you to the death over it. But your column is making me do Regan McNeil head spins trying to follow it.
I always found the Council at Antioch Epistle regarding circumcision unintentionally humorous kind of like a Lenny Bruce bit.
I think Isaiah was the first Jew for Jesus :)
He could have saved hundreds of words by just stating, “I don’t like Jews for Jesus.”
“then I draw my hand back, the smile dying on my face, and give them what I hope is a hard, peddle-your-zeal-elsewhere look.”
I wonder if he’ll use that face on Judgment Day.
