For you as an individual, and also in a more general sense, how does the Jewish community typically view these?\n\nAre these differentiated in your opinion?\n\nIn movies, like "School Ties" w. Brendan Fraser where he is discriminated against (as a Jewish person), by 'Christians'. \nDo actions taken by the other students anger you towards Christians in real life?

Besides for a bit of resentment for missionaries that go after the young and the ignorant. I have a fairly positive outlook on Christianity today. Some of my best friends are Christians. As for Judaism we believe that a person can be Christian and go to heaven.  Our religion states that all a gentile needs to do is believe in G-d and be a moral person. On the other hand Christianity is unacceptable for a Jew in part due to the Christian concept of the trinity it for us (and only us) would equate to idol worship and it is better to sacrifice ones life than to do this. For more info email me.

I don't think I have to be Jewish to tell you that you sound like you're a really good friend. You're worried about people (and his parents) finding out his belief. Since you make a reference to his being a "boy", consider it may be a phase, or something his friends have influenced him into thinking. Give him some time.

There is a difference between a zealous christian and an anti-semite.\n\nIt's not as if Mel Gibson wrote the gospels, he just made a movie based on them.  And I doubt very much that he made the movie only so that he could show Jesus being cruxified by the Jews.\n\nI think it's just a rumour that was started by a few people who were opposed to a national release of a movie based on the gospels.

u my friend r quite mistaken. i am an orthodox  jew, im the first to admit it and very proud of it. what ur saying now is not only rediculous but insulting towards the christians and catholics alike. hitler, may his name be erased, was a psycopath. he was a monster who was out of mind and barely human. his beliefs and morals (or lack there of) had nothing to do with christianity. his focus was about killing the jew en route to creating the perfect nation. learn some history.

They are downright weird. The number of Jews who would actually agree with the JTF on everything could probably be counted on one hand. The JTF calls some people "race tratiors" they sound more like neo-nazis! If it were not for the fact that I know these guys are Jewish I would suspect it was someone's idea of a joke.

As I am Jewish, I find a lot of contradictions in Christians. And narrow minded ideals, which is also a contradiction, as Jesus taught the exact OPPOSITE of that sort of behaviour. So forgive me, but you goyim just confuse the hell out of me.

I was raised as a Christian for safety reasons, but when my family moved to Florida we openly practiced Judaism again. \n\nI have no love for my fellow "Jews," most of whom have are converts, or are of mixed descent. The communities in Florida such as the Chabad on the Space Coast, and Temple Israel which is a reformed synagogue farther inland were as welcoming as a hornets nest. \n\nMy family and I tried to fit into their way of thinking, but they never accepted us.\n\nWe are Jews by birthright, and my family's lineage is pure on both my paternal and maternal sides. Unfortunately we weren't accepted by the Chabad because our birthright was not purchased, and the Reformed temple wouldn't accept us because most of the congregation had Nazi blood and was run by the daughter of a high level Nazi official. \n\nThere are very few left today are can truly be called Jews (despite what you may believe it is a birthright NOT a religion, and it takes ten generations/100 years before a convert's family/descendents are considered Jews). Unfortunately those that remain are well hidden and very far between.\n\nI don't believe that this generation's "Jew Haters" actually know who they hate. Their anger is simply directed at the group most obvious to them, and this is often their own people who have simply forgotten their past. \n\nFrom what I have seen, it is not the Nazis, or even the KKK and other such radical groups that cause most of the problems. It is the tightly-nit and inbred communities currently posing as Jews that create the hostility. They are unwilling to accept those who are not raised with their mindset, and while refusing to allow acceptance, try to force people to stay. \n\nMy family left Florida because we were not accepted by the Local "Jewish communities," they closed off the jobs, and it was near impossible to find work. Now that we have left they are the biggest problem. We are still alive and safe, but it is only by Hashem's hand and his alone that we survived the trip. \n\nI am sorry if I have offended anyone, but Nazis and other such groups are no longer the greatest threat to "True Jews", they are only the most publicized. It is the communities of Nazi-Jew descendents, Lilith worshipping converts, and mumzirm who pose as Jews that have become the true Jew haters. They are also the reason I have little respect for other "Jews" and no concern about the welfare of such people.

Wow!  Thank you very much for that.  I concurr.  \n\nPeople react with fear and/or hatred to things or people that are different than them in some way, and to those who  "overstep" the invisible boundaries they feel obligated to stay within.  I have no problem with someone's convictions.  Whatever you believe is fine - but it does not give you warrant to hate or mistreate others.  This is directly contradictory to the message of Jesus.  I believe he would slap the faces of many so-called christians today if he were not such a loving person.  He called us to love.  He called us to bring togeather - not tear apart.  Remember the parable of the sower and the tares?  Don't rip up what you believe to be tares or you will also rip up the harvest.  Wait and let the Lord do it at the judgement.  Just friggen learn to coexist and play nice....ok?

As a jewish person, i do not "hate" you because you are christian or from lebanon. You are an individual equal to me in every way shape and form. Welcome to america, go out and do the very best you can, let people judge you from your actions and words, not from where you came from.

As all others have said, I believe it's the connotation when referring to the person.  "Jew" in and of itself is not a derogatory term, but the term has been used in a hateful manner.  Those who persecute the Jewish never say, "you're Jewish!"  They say, "You dirty Jew!" (or something akin).  "Jewish" has never been used in a derogatory fashion, as has "Jew".

I am Muslim, a convert from christianity. I understand fully, I have had the same problem. My mom is a christian and very pro-Israel. She knows that I am Muslim but she forbids me to wear a Hijab or openly practice my religion. She had threatened to kick me out of the house other times for how I vote in elections so, I don't debate my religion with her. I agree with what the others said here that it is those radicals that give us a bad name. But I also think it is because of just pure ignorance of the truth mostly this ignorance is spread by the media.  It even extends to just being Arab or supporting the Arabs. I am originally American but I think of myself as an Arabist. I was in 10th grade english and the teacher announced to the whole class that I was with the Arabs. I didn't expect that but maybe it was because the teacher was Jewish but the whole class looked at me and I thought that I was going to be beaten up by how some of the kids were looking at me. This was shortly after 9/11 too. But above it all, I found happiness, I am happily married to an Egyptian Muslim, and will be making the Hajj in November, Inshallah. Those cartoons were overly offensive and shows why there is still the whole rift between East and West. Regardless of what those people say or do, keep your head up high and never allow them to get to you. Their fate like everything else is in Allah's hands.

The criticism of extremist religions was appropriate, considering what's been going on in the world for the last couple thousand years, especially since 2001. I didn't, however, care much about the message that faith is simply a choice, and not altered by inconsistencies in the bible or otherwise. While I can appreciate this idea, I just don't care, and I don't think religion, Jesus, and Mary Magdeline, are particularly interesting subjects. I thought it was kind of interesting - the idea that Jesus and Mary Magdeline were married and had kids, but, at least in the movie, that excitement was brief, and couldn't carry it. It seemed like it tried desperately to do other things to make it interesting. For example, there were murders, phobias, dark pasts, treacherous acts, plot twists, secret identities, intricate puzzles, mysterious forces at work, high drama, I mean they really tried to throw in everything under the sun, but if you only find the main premise mildly interesting, then all these elements fail. \n\nAlso, the idea that the blood line had survived, was not exciting to me, but probably mostly because I'm an athiest, so being a relative of Jesus' really becomes meaningless.

I have no problem with any religion, I dont agree with all of them, but I dont dis on any of them, God made us belive what he wants us to believe in. The Jews were great people and if you actually talk to one from the Holocaust youll want to cry This guy came to my school when I was a senior, and gave a speech, I went just to get out of class and was so suprised by what I heard, They are amazing people

I don't know whether they still occur or not, but as a Christian, I am personally appalled and repulsed by them.  Please understand that many people who call themselves Christians perform acts in the name of their religion that Christ himself would have strongly condemned.

WHAT?????????????????????????????????????????????????????\nRomans killed Jesus. \nI dont hate Jews. Cut Jews some slack they have been getting treated like crap since the B.C times. What is that people have against Jews. What did Jews ever do to you Jew haters anyways?

I would think, for Jews, there is sufficient reason to be Jewish, and not sufficient reason to be Christian.  Part of the sufficient reason to be Jewish is being born into it (for most Jews) and believing in one God, rather than the metaphorical, hypothetical, and mystical Trinity.  The reasons you mentioned certainly contribute to wanting to keep to the Jewish community.

Oh those silly christians..they act like they are so self rightous..Jewish and muslims families have strong family ties.. more so than christians
