Emile, your basic tenet is flawed, I have no problem with you and other Christians having faith with the tenet that Christ is the "son of God", if you have faith in that, fine with me, but I do not believe that Christ is the son of God, and it is my constitutional right not to believe so. Who set you as Judge in these lands to decide that those that do not hold the faith you do are liars? To the best of my knowledge there is no "talmudic doctrine that demands you keep its blasphemous teachings secret from Christian ears." If there was, these would have been omitted in post 1240 printings of the Talmud. After all, other teachings were lost during the massive burning of Talmuds in the 13th century by truth haters like you. I do not have to be apologetic for the Talmud, you should wish that Christianity came up with such a body of "regulatory laws" on its own. All it came up with is dogma, fine when you try to convert pagans to Christianity, but it does not always work (without the help of the sword) when you try to convert true monotheists. You see, I have no problems with animists, pagans or even polytheists (trinity is polytheism, at least as I understand it, and the praying to images is paganism last time I checked), I do not want to convert them to the "true faith" (whichever, Judaism, Christianity, Islam). Emile, what do you know of my "deceiving and blashpheming spirit", I have seen death eye to eye and it shrugged, that did not turn me to a humanity hater. Who are you but a pityfull humanity hater? As for "here is only one way to join the Chosen people under the New Covenant, and that is through the Cross of Him you ridicule." By now, if you were not blinded by your hate, you would have noticed that I am not ridiculing anyone, you included, certainly not Christians nor Muslims nor animists and people having Godless faiths (yes, there are such people as well, and they are as good as you and I). As for the Talmud, as I have mentioned to Shalom, Christianity was too small a problem at the time and only some 700 words out of 2.5 millions are dedicated, as an afterthought to it. Maybe that should be your complaint, not the fact that Christianity is mentioned there at all. Why, the Talmud considers the sexual relations between a man and his wife more important and treats that subject at much greater length. Go and study history and learn how Christianity became the power house it is, by the sword, not by conviction. If it tried Jesus' way of tending the other cheek, it would have ended in oblivion like ten other messianic movements of the time did. Christianity became the state religion of the Roman empire, opponents were burned (with their Talmuds if they were Jews) at the stake, the rest is history. Zeev
