Albert, earlier I made the mistake of getting into a theological discussion (well, more like a shouting match), and I don't feel like getting into another one now.

I'll just repeat that "turn the other cheek" is just as radical a concept now as it was back then. Because of that, it has been the subject of interpretation and misinterpretation for many centuries.

The only true major difference, IMHO, in philosophy of Judaism vs Christianity is that Judaism calls Jews as chosen while Christianity expands that notion to Christians.

Judaism is not calling for saving or converting of other people and very tolerant toward other religions. A different religion is not a cause to deny the rights.


Albert,

Frankly, I find all this religious animosity kind of ironic and almost funny. Our religions, although different, all pretty much believe in the same thing with the exception of JC....with Islam and Bhuddism, I think, not knowing he existed and the Jews thinking he was a prophet. Otherwise, the two bibles and the koran pretty much say the same thing. Bhuddism is different and much more philosophical but still many of the tenets are the same. I know little about Hinduism so don't know how it stacks up.

It just seems to me if there is a God, he probably is magnanimous enough to accept all religions and their differences.
