>...that`s going to be the title of the first book I actually FINISH. I have nothing against Christianity in particular. I`m like the Palestinians who have nothing against Jews AS Jews..but who despise what Christians have brought them to. I was never "bothered" by a priest. I was taken to a few Catholic services...they tried to get me to raise money for the "poor"...I found them funny. In Baghdad my devout Lutheran aunt was SHOCKED to find I knew no more of Christianity than an Assyrian WOULD...not wanting to evangelize me into Lutheranism, though I did have to listen to an awful lot of singing at prayer meetings she held in her home...she sent for an American Jesuit mucky muck from Baghdad College.

>He solemnly sat me down in the hushed living room and asked me how many years Jesus had his ministry...I asked him what a ministry was. He did not look pleased. He asked how old Jesus was when he began preaching. "Did Jesus preach"...I asked? "Where"? He tossed a few more questions about a Jew dead 2000 years, but I knew nothing and cared less. He left and that was the end of my introduction to Christianity.

>I did attend an old Assyrian church in Turlock once...but that was just because I was curious...as a sort of museum exhibit nothing more. There has NEVER beeen more spirituality in any church than there has been under a tree.
>
>So anyway...I am not bothered by Christians as people...let them go hang themselves, I won`t interefere...BUT...the institution is a danger...it fucks over children`s minds and it has led to the greatest spate of unending violence the world has ever seen. There is something rotten at the CORE of this religion and that`s what interest`s me...
>
>I always wondered what it was that alarmed the first German Jews that something new was coming...that this was not to be a typical pogrom, but something grand and fine and VERY Christian. Why did some leave early while others stayed to the bitter end? How do you know when something is "different" in an important way?

>For Jews it came years before and not in Berlin but in Paris...in 1895. It was the trial for treason of Alfred Dreyfuss, a Jew and an officer in the French Army. He was accused by Christian officers and his trial alerted world Jews and others that "something wicked this way comes". It was a travesty of justice..sort of like you`ll find in America today where "terrorists" are concerned. Dreyfuss was sentenced to life at hard labor..and they didn`t kid around back then.

>Fortunately for him, Emil Zola took up the cause and in his brilliant firebrand way wrote, " J`Accuse"..." I Accuse"...in which he flayed the French Military and Justice System as well as the culture as a whole for their flagrant anti-Jewish bias and hatred...nothing more than the natural culmination of Christian teaching.
>
>Dreyfuss was eventually exonerated and set free...but he was a broken man and his family, they were rich, was destroyed.
>
>One of the reporters covering the trial for a Paris newspaper was Theodore Hertzl, the father of modern Zionism. from somewhere he sensed that this trial was the beginninjg of something entirely new...something so potentially murderous that it would affect everyone...jew and gentile alike. He quit his job and with the backing of wealthy Jews, travelled throughout Europe warning of what might come...the only Jews to take him seriously were the ones in Russia and Eastern Europe who`d seen a spike in recent pogroms against them..the Jews of western Europe slept on...that was when the first wave of European Jews moved to the West and to Palestine. Hertzl urged Jews to seek a homeland where they might at least die together...if the worst came to pass.
>
>We all know what came next...the fires of racial hatred and bloody bigotry were stoked and stoked by the Christian Faith until Hitler stepped up to the mark...but he was NO monster...he merely dared act out what ALL Christians wanted to see done...in his early days, when he spoke and wrote about the FINAL solution to the "problem" of world Jewry, Hitler was idolized by Americans and Europeans alike,...of course you have to be nuts to actually DO this sort of thing, but you ALSO have to be crazy to believe Jews are a "menace"...and my whole point is that there is something within Christianity that DRIVES people nuts. Not all of them could actually gas a Jew (Eichmann threw up the first time he actually SAW Jews being summarily shot)...but most of them WANTED it done.
>
>Not everyone has the stomach to watch an Iraqi child die of starvation...or scream to death in pain because aspirin isn`t available, due to the United Christian States...but we have millions of people who WANTED it done.
>
>It`s like our boys who praise themselves for being from the east, where they were NEVER violent...calling themselves REALER Christians because of that...yet who`ve run to America, where presumably the WRONG kinds of Christian live..and are urging THEM to go kill people FOR them! The boys are hiding behind and kissing the asses of western Christianity, which is KICK-ASS Christianity...not because they are too "kind" and "peaceful" to do it themselves..but because they are from the GET YOUR ASS KICKED branch of Christianity...get kicked and learn to LOVE it...for Jesus!
