They hate my religion. I just loled at them.

I have never understood why people dislike jews so much. "Oh, the jews killed our Jesus!".... uhhhhhhhh yeah. The romans kind of did, too, why aren't you persecuting italians?

I personally think that jews are awesome!

Yeah, I mentioned I play a lot of services because I'm obviously usually not very busy on easter, christmas, good friday, etc. and that's the only part that annoys me. I just shut it out. Every holiday has some mention of the jews or the hypocrites in the synagogues, or the old heathens (actually heard that one.) I've asked people what they think of that part and they say "well that's how it was." I dunno, in my personal opinion slaves had better things to do with their time. My mom likes to come cause she does think the music is pretty, but we just laugh together later (not in public, cause that's rude.) meh, you're lucky we have a good sense of humor I love my synagogue cause it's kinda alternative. We do a lot of combined services with the churches and even mosques in the area where whoever it is you pray to isn't mentioned. Instead it's kinda lectures on life lessons and stories and you pray to whomever you want in your own way. It's cool. There're even more religions that just those three mentioned that come. At the end we have a huge pot luck with all sorts of food and religion talk is off limits. That's left upstairs, once the service is over. It's a good way to find common ground and is a lot of fun.

I have to admit, I'm intrigued. That sounds like something worth sitting in on at least once. If only I still owned nice clothes...

The Romans gave them a choice, the Jews chose...poorly, that and they have all the money.

I think you'd have to agree that it was a pretty good choice for those who follow jesus. He wouldn't have been famous if he was just some guy. (Not saying they actually did it though, cause sarcasm doesn't always come across well in text ;p) And I want some of this supposed money!

[Fryk]

Can I be Roman so I can get some money, too?

[Wingates_Hellsing]

I'm afraid not Fryk, you have displayed a history far too cluttered with the intent to do a decent job and mean exactly what you say to become a politician.

[Fryk]

I can change! Honest! Watch:

Blargle blargle infrastructure blah blah platitude blargle God and country mumble mumble jews killed Jesus watermelon watermelon different people can't be trusted.


How'd I do?

[Wingates_Hellsing]

Not bad, oh future congressional candidate. But:

DID YOU HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THAT CACTUS?!??!

[Fryk]

Yes. But I did not inhale.

[Wingates_Hellsing]

Very well President, by tommorow the 15 people you listed and Phelps will have permanent coughing fits, runny noses and explosive diarrhea. If all goes well, one of them will do all 3 at the same time and die.

During alot of European history any non-Christian was looked down upon. It didn't help that Jews tended to have white collared jobs due to not being allowed to being banned from alot of physical labor and that they avoided alot of the plagues due to the fact that they bathed. When you're poor and dying you tend to not like your rich not dying neighbor, so you come up with reasons why they are bad.

Of course, let's not also forget that when the German economy turned to shit after WWI, many Jews came through relatively unscathed. Just the perfect excuse for a short little man with a funny mustache and a huge gas bill...to not only blame them for "ruining" the economy, but also to exterminate them

[IDrinkaRum]

They meant jews. We tend to have dark, thick hair. She also mentioned big noses. Like I said, I have blond hair, so she was really angry that I didn't look Jewish. Yeah. Stupid.

Hey! I have thick dark hair (which comes from my mom's mother's side of the family - they're all Spaniard/Austrian/French/Canadian). I also have a big nose, like my grandma. Grandma was 3/4 British ancestory, 1/4 Irish ancestory. Are you telling me now that I'm Jewish!?

And what you should have told those girls is that you're a Jew for Jesus. That would have really blown their minds.

[Fryk]

Maybe you can be an honorary jew, Rum. I sent in my application last week, just waiting to hear if I can get my complimentary yarmulke.
