Are you like... an idiot?

In fairness to Ran_Man he is definitely not an idiot, hes a programmer at IBM and has been for years, plus I have talked to him on the phone and I can tell he is pretty smart. But he is making a big mess on this forum which apparently he is going to just let the other Christians here clean up after he dissappears again.

The whole concept of Jews being a wicked people who do not deserve to live goes back to the 11th century, the age of the crusades. The Second crusade failed to accomplish its goals, and as a sort of compensation killed all Jews in the cities on their way back. Since then, jewish pogroms and massacres regularly occured in most Christian cities. The only countries where jews could live in peace were countries under Islamic rule



No, the Jew-killing concept go back much further than the 11th century, it probably started with various tribes,then Egypt, then Assyria, then Babylon, then Persia, then Greece, then Rome. After Rome the Jews lost their land and were persecuted throughout the world.

Pound for Pound the Jews are arguably the toughest, most adaptable, most enduring race on earth. Its ironic then that the eugenic environment which propelled Hitlers ideas would see the aryans as the most fit race.
