so does some damp
suppose 'jews killed Jesus' even means anything? do they think he was a christian? i don't even understand the slur. am i hurting myself trying to understand something beyond understanding?
I'm hearing my family now: "Of course Jesus was Christian! What else would he be? It'd make no sense for him to be in hell. Adam and Eve were Christian too. And Noah and Abraham, and ... "
And what else would my family say, well like PKMKII hinted at, if you asked my them about Jesus' death, they would have no problem giving you a contradictory and fucked up message like: "it was good that Jesus died for our sins (why exactly did he have to, never thought about it), but it was also evil that the jealous Jews did it because they disagreed with Jesus. In fact, that's what a Jew is you see. Before year 0, everyone was Christian or Pagan. And the people who heard Jesus but rejected him became Jews."
And yes, they do think that the old testament figures were Christian.
It's a confused and nonsensical logic because it is both good that Jesus died, but also it happened because Jews rejected him and they did thay because they are bad.
You're expecting reason from people who don't have any. Just replace every thought with nonsense and hatred and you can start to understand how they think.
thank you for the write up. i figured it was dumb but i don't want to fall in to the trap of assuming that of things i myself am ignorant on. thanks again for explaining
There isn't much to explain, or at least it doesn't seem that way with any fundy I've encountered. Some are "smart" in their own twisted way and have theological justifications, but the large majority are not like that. Most just believe in this strange nonsense and never think thay deeply about it. And thats fine, most people are like that with any religion, they got other things to focus on in life. But I've found that if the fundy types do "think" about it then it is in such a strange and twisted way that digging into it gives you psychic damage. No need to give them any benefit of the doubt.
