Please keep your racist comments to yourself, this is about these 2 people as individuals.

They're both just arguing semantics, but 1 refuses to elaborate at all and cries about bullying and antisemitism for the slightest pushback.

The other has a point, but on being called antisemitic he has to point out him being a proud Zionist.

If they didn't deserve each other, this would be actually infuriating.

Mastodon screenshot: Person 1 Welcome to Jewish erasure season where many Christians pretend that Jesus wasn't Jewish and a whole bunch of other people pretend that he was a "Palestinian". Person 2 no contradiction. Judaism was his religion Palestine is one of the many names of the place he lived in (he probably referred to himself as a Judean)  just like people calling you Canadian are not wrong just because you're Jewish Person 1 Wow, there's so much wrong (and even just slightly antisemitic) with what you said that I don't even know where to begin. 3 The fundamental error in thinking is that you all talk about Jews, Christians, Palestinians, and NOT about human beings. Person 1 The "fundamental error in thinking" is that you are bullying a Jew talking about antisemitism. Now go away. Red box labled "Bonus" Person 2 I don't think you got me right  I'm a proud Jew, a proud Israeli, and a proud Zionist. I have never been accused of antisemitism.

Yeah, I’ve said for a long time that lots of modern Christianity is just retellings of older mythology. For example, the story of Lucifer is the story of Prometheus told through an Abrahamic lens. When Christianity was trying to get off the ground, the Christians needed ways to relate to modern audiences. And modern audiences at the time were largely comprised of Greco-Roman working class, who were already intimately familiar with that existing mythology.
