Bringing this along from the other thread, thanks to @feyenoordsoccerfan

Sometimes topic get left behind when a thread goes to a new version. Making sure that doesn't happen here. I'll check for anything else that needs to be carried over.

 

You'd think after Jared created everlasting peace in the Middle East (and paid $2 billion for his troubles...) he'd had time to solve racism.

What a lazy bum.

 

So Heatwave gets booted for Luther Vandross.

 

Slumlording Ain't Easy

 

Loothuh was everywhere in the early 80s. Him and Michael McDonald

 

Racism and privilege is what gets conservative lower to upper/middle-class White folks thru the day. The GOP has nothing else to offer its rank and file.

 

Re-taking a theme mentioned in the previous thread (and hello, by the way), during the early Middle Ages the persecution of the Jews in the recently-converted-to-Roman-Christianity Europe was due in part to the Jerusalem Talmud, where the story of Jesus was narrated in a very different manner.

The Jews recognized James, the son of Miriam and Jakob (Mary and Joseph) as the rightful inheritor of his parents lineage, but the narrative about Jesus was different: he was the son of a Roman officer, Tiberius Julius Abdes Pantera, sent to the region to fight a rebellion in Samaria.

The Jerusalem Talmud called Jesus both "ben Pantera" (the son of Pantera) and "ben Stada" (the son of the harlot, since it was believed Miriam cheated with the officer when she was already betrothed to Jakob).

Eventually the Jerusalem Talmud was replaced by the Babylonian one, that didn't mention Jesus and made Jews safer in Christian lands. But by then the narrative had an underground following, and the Toledot Yeshu, the "episode of Jesus" circulated all throughout the Middle Ages, taking material from the Jerusalem Talmud --composed from oral traditions right after the Bar Kokhba debacle, about 80 years after Jesus's death (around 140CE; in the early narratives Jesus didn't die on the cross and lived other 30 years; in some, it was an alternate who was crucified, a man who looked like him named Simon; in the Quran it's also narrated that it was only made appear as if Jesus has been crucified, but he was not).

PS: Many of these views were compatible with Arianism, the form of Christianity in Europe the Roman Church displaced from 400 to 800CE.

 

I want you all to know how hard it is for me not to post a certain Monty Python skit right now.

 

Does it involve your very great friend in Rome?

It'll never not be interesting how, theologically, Islam is far friendlier to Jesus than Judaism.

But "Judeo-Christian culture/values/whatever" is a thing, especially in the last century or so, while "Muslim-Christian" has never been, as far as I know.

 

The Comments are a great teaching tool, so much here about the futility of reaching across the aisle.

 

Yeah, reading the comments gives an insight in how people think about certain issues.

Anger as Greens MP Jenny Leong compares Australia's treatment of Aboriginals to Israel and the Palestinians - in the wake of horrific dance party massacre: 'Disgrace'
Daily Mail|17 days ago
A NSW Greens MP has hit out at Defence Minister RIchard Marles over what she called his 'disgraceful' comment that the bloody attack on Israel by Islamic terror group Hamas is 'unprovoked'.

 

Of course not because Judeo-Christian is basically a nice way for ideologues to say "white" or "European".

 

Indeed. You see this for instance from Wilders/Baudet in the Netherlands, as from Orbas in Hungary.

 

I'm moving - just thought you all should know

 

Out of OK? Can the school in your new location get into the CFP?

 

Not a minute too soon.....
