[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago* (5 children) That's what I dont get. White Nationalists hate the Jewish but worship Jesus, who is also Jewish? permalink fedilink source hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago* (2 children) They love their made up Jesus. Their made up jesus loves Guns, Racism, Money, and hates brown people and kindness. Which is fitting for people who have never bothered to read the bible outside of some mistranslated quotes their greedy, money grubbing and hate mongering preachers repeat ad nauseam. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] WashedOver@lemmy.ca [S] 28 points 2 years ago* I still think of this if they were to meet the "real" Jeebus permalink fedilink source parent [–] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 11 points 2 years ago (1 child) Also remember that today's Bible was retold by a game of telephone before being written down. It was then written in a tongue the average person on the street could not read, this was so that they could not translate it themselves and were at the mercy of a preacher to tell them what it said. It was illegal to translate and/or distribute a copy of the texts. This is all to say that had any of it been real, it is more than likely to have been reshaped over the years, before white nationalists have now added their own spin. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago I sometimes wonder if any of it was a game of telephone. If you take out all the parts that are borrowed from Greco-Roman and traditional Jewish writings you are left with so little. Enough that it could have been made up by the authors. We don't have direct evidence of the oral tradition or even someone remotely natural hinting it existed. permalink fedilink source parent [–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (2 children) Everyone reimagines the story in their own image. Whatever you want him to be be is what he is. That's the great thing about fiction.

"Oh you know, * BLAM * a real fucking vampire." permalink fedilink source parent [–] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* I mean Christians have always had a history of hating Jews. Absolutely not defensible obviously, but not a recent outlier either. permalink fedilink source parent [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago I've been told, unironically, that Jesus was the first Christian. So I guess he worshiped himself? permalink fedilink source parent [–] aidan@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Most particularly anti-semetic people aren't very Christian. permalink fedilink source parent
