Again, I ask you a simple question. Why do you choose to persecute Jews (or Muslims)? Why not leave the judgements to God? To manipulate the scripture to condemn other faiths seems to contradict your confidence in your own faith. Piety is a dangerous thing, a Faustian paradox. You have the free will to wrestle with these religious scriptures written by the disciples of Christ. Why not let other cultures enjoy their free will to express their love of God? Personally, I think God gives us free will to wrestle with the meaning of the scripture and to apply it to our daily lives. I don't think religious persecution of other faiths is a constructive way to worship God. It seems like a self righteous act of exclusion. It promotes one's faith above all others. Isn't that kind of like putting yourself above God, who is the only one to retain the final judgements. If God was willing to give us free will, shouldn't you give us the same respect.
