Name: Anne Thompson
Mr. Alterman,
As an American citizen and consumer of both print and television media, I have become increasingly concerned over what I perceive to be a completely liberal-biased slant as well as unquestioning support for both the brutal policies of Israel as well as the Jewish faith. Judaism is an incomplete religion and our country is NOT a ?Judeo-Christian? nation. America was founded on the principles of Christianity and Christianity ALONE.To give any credence to the Jewish faith is to say that it is a true faith, which it is NOT. To give unquestioning support to the state of Israel, despite its horrid brutality, is criminal. Ariel Sharon has spent the last 40 years deceiving the Lebanese Christian community, committing mass genocide, lying to the American and European public and, in general, behaving worse than any tyrant currently recorded in history.
To support Judaism and the state of Israel, in its current form, is disgraceful. Allow me to explain why the Jewish religion is an incomplete religion and why Jews MUST convert to Christianity AT ALL COSTS.
The incompleteness of Judaism:
1. Judaism believes in an eye for an eye, there is no such thing as forgiveness.
2. Judaism consistently promotes mass genocide, while Christianity promotes isolating hostile elements within an opposition group and removing those elements, but leaving the group intact and converting them to Christianity.
3. Judaism is an inclusive group, meaning that the religion does not proselytize nor does it accept outside membership. This essentially sets Jews up for inbreeding, which causes all sorts of neurological and degenerative diseases.
4. Judaism is suspicious and hostile of outsiders.
5. Judaism creates a group of people who are paranoid, isolated, inbred, and unforgiving.What kind of life is this for anyone? Christianity is an open, loving, forgiving religion. Christianity does not submit to genocide of a group in which there exist bad members, but rather advocates the elimination of those bad members, specifically, while leaving the group intact and converting them to Christianity.
Christianity is superior to Judaism in many ways and Jews must and should convert to Christianity as soon as possible. To state that Judaism, in any form, is an acceptable type of worship to our Lord is deplorable. JUDAISM IS FALLACY!
The media?s ongoing support of this incomplete faith and its false tenets is an injustice to the world. America cannot and WILL NOT TOLERATE the ongoing atrocities committed by the Israelis, the Mossad, and the Jewish people. The Jews MUST CONVERT to Christianity IMMEDIATELY. The violence in the Middle East will go on for a thousand years if they are not converted. The ongoing tensions in American society will continue if the Jews do not convert. It is CRITICAL that Jews convert.
I thank you for your time and consideration and may God bless you and yours.
I believe Eric is Jewish. This letter reeks of the description Ani Difranco gives on her live album of a open mic night where some evangelicals sing a song about whether Anne Frank found Jesus.
“1. Judaism believes in an eye for an eye, there is no such thing as forgiveness.”
There is forgiveness. It’s all over the Books of Moses. The “eye for an eye” refers to judicial punishment. If someone injures another, the injurer pays, and they’re done. Forgiven. Would you have him walk off scot-free?
“2. Judaism consistently promotes mass genocide, while Christianity promotes isolating hostile elements within an opposition group and removing those elements, but leaving the group intact and converting them to Christianity.”
Site your source for Jewish massacres. I’ll start on the Christian ones: Crusades.
“3. Judaism is an inclusive group, meaning that the religion does not proselytize nor does it accept outside membership. This essentially sets Jews up for inbreeding, which causes all sorts of neurological and degenerative diseases.”
Jews do take converts. We just don’t want anybody converting who will not be serious about it or has ulterior motives. That’s why we do not proselytize. We know you can go to Heaven if your not Jewish. Missionaries say the only way to gain access is to accept Je-Zeus, and that scares the weaker-minded ones. A religion of simpletons.
“4. Judaism is suspicious and hostile of outsiders.”
Again, site your source.
“5. Judaism creates a group of people who are paranoid, isolated, inbred, and unforgiving.”
Good argument there (note: sarcasm). If you lived among Arabs, you would be suspicious, too. If 30 million Indians started ambushing American cities and people, do you not think America would step up it’s security and thus appear “paranoid, isolated, inbred, and unforgiving”? The inbred statement makes as much sense as saying marrying within one’s species is inbreeding.
Maybe you should stop praying to a dead loon.
The point is that the letter was offensive–it was originally written to Eric Alterman who is Jewish so the entire deal is doubly offensive.
My bad. I totally misread it.
No problem.
