Jews and Christians

[Ingemar Johansson <hebanon...>]

Not being a Jew myself I would like to state this. Of all the institutions
of christianity the churches (catholics and protestants alike) are the
worst ones: these organisations have always willingly served oppressors,
have lent themselves to this very task - Luther actively taking part in the
crushing of the German Peasants Revolt in the 16th century and at the same
time spouting about the rights of the little man (his modern followers are
hypocrits of the same kind - believe me, I have to live with their
stupidity every day), the Russian Orthodox Church as a mainspring for
pogroms, the Catholic Church's pursuit of dissenters and its neurotic
fright of  the living forces as such from the very start until today. The
(religious and political) rulers of christianity have as much blood on
their hands as Hitler and Stalin together (who actually shouldn't be
regarded as christians - both of them tried to replace conventional
religion with their own brand, although the unquestionable submission to
authority is one and the same). It's all an endless and disgusting list... 

Someone here told about "his" invention to replace "Jesus" with "cheeses"
and "Christ" with "nice" when performing before christians. With all due
respect I cannot help but think of the German who in between the wars
shouted "Heil Mittler!" (conveniently meaning "Long live the mediator!"),
and then some years later wondered a little why some of his neighbours
disappeared so "mysteriously". Of course, he himself was not to blame as he
hadn't ever praised a mean man.

We all have to compromise at times. But that doesn't mean that we should
make a virtue out of it.
