    Do you really want to start throwing around dueling Wikipedia articles? Why can’t you just use your own words?

      I didn’t think you’d read it. Just like you didn’t read the one about Martin Luther, the founder of protestantism, and his antisemitic text that was picked up by the Nazis and used as a Christian justification of the Holocaust (and the German Christians ate that shit up too).

        I’m interested in your words, I’m not interested in you telling me to go read someone else’s words as if they are your own.

        If you can’t explain what you’re trying to say, you obviously don’t really understand it well enough. If the author of those Wikipedia articles was here and I was talking to them, that would be one thing.

        But I’m talking to you

          I’ve given you my words and you’ve pretended I haven’t said them. Like when I told you more than once that many Christians have treated me like this and you claimed it was one individual.

          The first massacre of the Crusades was of Jews.

          The founder of Protestantism wrote an antisemitic screed that has been used for centuries to justify antisemitism.

          The Tsars of Russia would go on pogroms where they would massacre Jews in villages because Russian Orthodox priests told them to.

          I’d back all of this up with evidence, but you’re apparently not interested in evidence. I guess because if you ignore evidence, it’s easy to deny 2000 years of severe antisemitism from Christians across the globe.

            Do you not think every peoples have been persecuted? Enslaved? Tortured? Been mean to?

            Christians went through this, my ancestors in Europe went through this, these stories exist in every single group on the planet, currently and in the past.

            Pointing out one group soecifically doesn’t mean much when you can’t point to a group that hasn’t gone through similar things throughout history.

            Does that make the human race a hate group? I guess following your logic is done. Again, proving my point that your use of the words rob them of all meaning, when there are obvious hate groups that actually exist.

            You don’t need to make shit up to push your own political agenda. Which is really all that this is.

              Are you actually comparing 2000 years of Antisemitism to what Christians went through under Nero? Really?

              This is like your also saying you’ve been threatened online as if it’s the same as people actually physically harming me for who my ancestors were.

                You have absolutely no scope of anything beyond yourself. I can’t keep discussing this with you, you can’t see anything beyond your own personal experience.

                You’re not equipped for this level of analysis

                  I guess I don’t have scope. I didn’t see how hard your life has been what with people insulting you on the internet and being worried someone might punch you someday because of your politics.

                  That’s definitely the same as being beaten up for who your ancestors were.

                  I don’t know what I was complaining about. Clearly being a Jew is all springtime and roses. Not one Christian has ever said or done a bad thing about Jews. Certainly not prominent Christians. Who’s ever heard of Martin Luther?

                  But I apologize because you clearly have had a very difficult life full of severe persecution due to possible future punches and internet insults.
