Why would christians be mad at Jewish people for killing jesus?
if jesus wouldn't have been killed, then he wouldn't have died for their sins. And they'd all be going to hell. Seems like a thank you is order. |

Ummm, did any of you guys read any further than the title of the piece?
All he's saying is that a lot of people in the Jewish community were protesting against Passion of the Christ because of how it portrayed them even though it was an accurate movie according to the gospels. It would be kind of like Germans protesting against Schindler's List and someone saying, "Hey, I got a news flash for you. The German's killed a lot of Jews in the concentration camps." |

It's not accurate to say that the Jews killed Jesus. It's overly broad, for one thing. Jesus' followers were ALL Jews during His lifetime. They certainly didn't kill him. And a large number of Jews probably didn't even know who he was. Herod, the Sanhedrin and the Pharisees played a part, but they are certainly not representative of all Jews.
Further, the Romans actually put Jesus to death. A more accurate statement would be that SOME Jews, who opposed the teachings of a fellow Jew, turned him over to the Romans, who in turn had him crucified for political reasons. (To placate Herod and maintain peace in the protectorate.) |

Similarly, the movie only portrayed "some" Jews.

Guess they forgot to tell Bill Buckley. "...as we reason and love, we are able to hope. And hope enables us to resist those things that would enslave us." |

Yep.
Another example of the value of "sombunall." |

Although, of course maybe you should have stipulated that it's not accurate to say that the Romans crucified Jesus. It's overly broad. |

No, but it may be the stop for the Museum of attempted witty complaints with no attempt to support.

The Priests grabbed him, Herod condemned him, Pilate ordered him nailed up and some soldiers actually did the act. What this boils down it is one line from the Gospels where Pilate, in an attempt to avoid the responsibility of what he was about to do, washes his hands in front of the crowd (which by the way, I understand was a Jewish ritual and not something a Roman governor would actually do) and states; "I wash my hands of the blood of this good man." At which point the crowd is supposed to have said; "Let his blood be on us and our children." Always remember that the Gospels were written at least 50 to 100 years after the events they tell and we, as magicians, know how things get exaggerated in the retelling!

How could he have been a Jew and Christian at the same time if Jew is not a race is a mystery to me.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

He wasn't a Christian because there was no such thing then.

This is one of the most amazing sentiments I've heard on these boards yet.
