We do see some outbursts of Christian chauvinism here. ‘Mercy’ is not in fact a Christian idea but comes straight out of Judaism. So too with many other ‘Christian’ ideas and ideals; they are variations of pre-existing Jewish ones. This is not to deride Christianity, but to point out that there is a difference between a Christian conservative who truly acknowledges the contribution of Judaism to the underpinnings of ‘Western culture’ and those who use the situation with Islam (war) to claim that Christianity is the only humanizing or democratizing belief system in the world. This is false, and gives rise to feelings among Jews or others that there isn’t all that much to choose from between Islam and certain fundamentalist brands of Christianity.
If we look honestly at the evolution of Christianity up to, through and beyond the Roman Church, then we can see that it is a mixture of watered-down Judaism and all sorts of pagan concepts, Greek-Egyptian-Babylonian. That is, the very concepts that Christians and others frequently call ‘Freemasonry’ and then associate with the ‘New World Order’ – for which ‘the Rothschilds’ (see: Protocols of the Elders of Zion) and the Jews are blamed.
I’ll stick with Jewish teachings; it’s just wearying to see how easy – and necessary – it is for some Christians to claim credit for what is not theirs.
