The proposed legislation. I grew u hearing 'Jews killed Christ'.

Fact Check: House bill cracking down on antisemitism does not restrict biblical teaching - Catholic Review

Claims circulating among right-leaning influencers about legislation under consideration in Congress to counter antisemitism on college campuses are not an accurate reflection of the legislation, according to an analysis by OSV News.

Were on an increasingly steep slippery slope.

It always struck me as disingenuous to discuss the identity of the people who killed Jesus.

The people who killed Jesus were "those who were invested religious profiteering".

Some were Jews, some were Romans. Jesus was followed by both Jews and gentiles, and killed by both as well, of the story is to be believed as real.

Jesus was killed by religiously sanctioned greed, for calling out sanctimonious cash grabbers selling indulgences.

Catholics did the same.

So did Evangelicals.

Putting it specifically on "Jews" is antisemitic.

The problem here is that recognizing the class of people killed Jesus is generally going to be unflattering to religious interests even today.

Shouldn't Christians be applauding the people who killed Jesus? If they hadn't, he couldn't have respawned, and their entire religion wouldn't exist.

I do wish he would have toned down the graphic talk about anal sex. Does he not know that there were children there?

What does anal sex have that makes it any different from sex in general that makes it particularly more inappropriate to bring up in front of kids?

Let kids know there's a way to have sex without babies?? (Not that it actually is all that reliable if the woman is in a face down position.)

"Respawned" almost made me do a spit-take.

That said, it is an interesting thought experiment to consider what would have happened if cooler heads had prevailed and the Romans in charge had said - of Jesus - "yeah, this guy's annoying, but mostly harmless. We've got other things to worry about."

Has this guy suffered some brain concussions in his football career?

Maybe a brain worm?

Exactly! I never understand “blame” for this. They should get “credit”. Jesus had to die for everyone’s sins, right?
