Of course, in fact I believe that Bible to be mostly fiction, but that is not the point. The point is that about a billion people on this earth look up to that book. But I digress, you are right the cases are not all that similar and I wrote that for shock value more then anything else.
Yet my point is missed.
It should not matter that Bible holds the Hebrew priests partially responsible for the death of Jesus. They could have been worshiping the Greek pantheon for all I care. What is important is the message. Now there are two types of people in this world: those who read the bible and come away with the idea that even holly men can become corrupt; and those that come away with the idea that Jews killed Jesus.
The second group isn’t all that large. Yet I find it terribly ironic that this group of people who put so much emphasis on the race of a human being can be further divided into subgroups: the resists pigs and those that yell about anti-Semitism when they read the Bible.
Do you see my point now? Why aren’t Italian appealing that the movie is anti-Italian because Romans crucified Jesus? Why aren’t Germans offended when we put down Fascists? Why aren’t Russians in rage when we criticize communism? Because people that share a common ancestry are not all the same. Isn’t that the message?
