Christian Salvation Is Heinously Unjust

[Ethnikos]

But my point is that some Christian sects do promote it (or have promoted it in the past when it was more socially acceptable).

But they used the Old Testament in their rationalization for it, they did not take it from the New Testament unless they misinterpreted it. The NT tells people to be good slaves but these were bond-servants, people who made contracts to serve a person in exchange for money or some other favor. The NT also encourages to help others get out of a situation like that which has gone bad. The OT was quoted by Christians to dehumanize blacks and the American Indians by saying they were sons of Cain or of Canaan, and so were supposed to be slaves by edict of God.

On the other hand, there are Jews who, if they do think all their gentile friends and neighbors are subhuman, certainly hide it well and treat them like everybody else.

I don't recall using this thread to criticise people as some hypothetical group. I am being critical of teachings by some rabbinical schools of thought.

It's a chicken-and-egg thing: are some people racist because their religion told them to be, even though it might be against their own conscience otherwise? Or do racist people adapt religions in their own image? Probably a little of both, since religions tend to follow social trends.

I think there are a lot of factors that are involved in anyone being racial a bigot but that is not what this thread is about nor is it something I want to use as a central point other than what is officially sponsored by a particular religion. If I am on a forum and there is a thread about Israeli persecution of Palestinians, and I say I do not approve of this, someone else, in support of Israel, will say something to the effect that Arabs are bad people. They can quote scripture just as well as bring up more recent events. Israel, behind the scenes, have promoted terrorists and the most famous events involving Palestinian terrorism were supported by Israel, through their intelligence agency. The US has adopted those same sorts of tactics and you see it rather blatantly with the war on Gaddafi. They (MUSAD) also do false flag attacks themselves on Jews to blame on Arabs. My point is this is official policy based on racism, supported by the OT.

This sounds like just a new, complicated way to hate Jews without needing to point out anything they're actually done wrong.

I am not a Jew hater and far from it and there are many in Israel itself who are against these sorts of things I mentioned.
