I am really sick of hearing how Christians are anti-Semitic, that they all blame the Jews for killing Jesus, and that they are racist because they believe that all Jews are going to hell. We heard a lot of this BULLSHIT during the popularity of Gibson's film 'The Passion of the Christ'.

What those who put forth this argument don't seem to fully understand is that the Jewish faith and the Jewish race are two completely different things.

A person is considered a Jew if he is born into the Semitic race of people who are defined by that name. A person is also a Jew if he adopts the religious beliefs of a group of people who practice the religion known as Judaism.

It is possible for a person to be an ethnic Jew and a Christian (my adopted sister is a Jew by birth and a Christian by religion). It is also possible for a person of a different race to practice the Jewish faith and be called a Jew (Sammy Davis Jr. was an African American JEW). Both my sister and Sammy Davis Jr. are Jews, each in a different sense of the word.

When Christians say that the Jews are going to hell, they are referring to the group of people who practice the religion Judaism, and NOT to the not the group of people who make up that particular Semitic race of people. If they were referring to race, it would not be possible for an ethnic Jew to convert to Christianity.

To say a Christian is anti-Semitic for believing that religious Jews are going to hell is COMPLETELY moronic.
