Some people claim that my postings are dumb. Ha! That's because you've never seen a *truly dumb* (tm) posting. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present THE DUMBEST POSTING EVER, outshining even Mark Ethan Smith! >kanov@bimacs.BITNET (Mechael Kanovsky) wrote: > >>> The interesting thing is that many Jews celebrate >>> the birthday of a person (Jesus) in whose name more Jews >>> were killed than all the Jews that existed under the Nazi regime. >>> All the pogroms, all the crusades, and a very substantial >>> ammount of antisematism till today was/is done for his name. >>> The difference being that Hitler died 40 years ago while Jesus >>> died 2000 years ago. > So you think Jesus was some sort of eonazi??? THIS IS REALLY STUPID. Besides going against everything the guy said, Jesus was a *Jew* for Christ's sake! Also according to the tale of the Syro-Phoenician Greek woman (or Caananite woman, depending on the Gospel chosen) his ministry was primarily to Jews; Gentiles were "dogs receiving the scraps from their master's table". I could go on, but Kanovsky's posting flames itself. Incidentally, before you point your flamethrowers in the wrong direction, I am neither Christian nor Jew, and I have no theological axe to grind. This is cross-posted to talk.bizarre because it's the most bizarre thing I've seen in a long time. Kanovsky's original posting was in soc.culture.jewish (don't ask me what I was doing reading that group, I have no idea! :^) ) -Bret
