My da is Jewish and believes that all of Israel belongs to the Jewish people, and any killing over it is justified because "it was promised to us in the Bible."
My only retort was "That's actually fucking disgusting. Wonder what Jesus would think of that? For fucks sake."
He doesn't mention it anymore.
Hate that shit.
EDIT: Jewish lineage, not a practicer of the Jewish religion.
~~There's something wrong in your story. Jesus?~~
Religious Jews believe in Jesus as a person that existed. Opinions on him range from very negative to very positive, it's complex and varied - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_views_on_Jesus
Possible this guy's family has a very positive view of Jesus.
One of the more famous Jews, I guess.
I mean, yes, literally.
Jewish lineage ≠ Jewish religion.
You can be Jewish but not practice all that.
Its almost as if ethnicity and practiced religion are different things
Who do you think Jesus was? A Buddhist preacher? 😅
That's the thesis defended in The Man From Earth -very entertaining fiction
I love that film! It's what I wanted Dune to be a bit more like, lol.
To look more like a play ?
No! Dune, the book series, is basically all dialogue or internal dialogue and Denis made two beautiful films, from the cinematographic, visually aesthetic perspective, but left out or unnecessarily changed (and negatively altered) much of its essence. It's all style over substance, basically, and it f'd up the substance as well.
Jesus was a Jewish preacher.
Indeed!
I'm not jewish so idk for sure, but I'm pretty certain Jesus is still considered a prophet and generally an pretty cool guise in Judaism.
He's considered a false prophet, certainly not in a place of honour. At least by orthodox Jews.
