Yeah… Christianity is us vs them most of the time bc it’s weaponized. So I make sure he knows the dude is no different than us. Not us vs them. I love how in all those words, this is your focus. Touch grass baby
Yeah, anyone aware of the way antisemitism has weaponized Christianity should be able to understand why you teach your kid that. I grew up catholic after Vatican II and we were told repeatedly that Jesus was a Jew, as were his apostles and that modern Jews bear no responsibility for his death. These facts are vital for combating antisemitism in Christian societies.
Holy shit, really? I’m from Brooklyn where everyone I know growing up was Catholic (or black or Jewish) and there was tons of antisemitism. Like literally cognitive dissonance and 10 yrs old friends being like “but wait, half my friends are Jews and they’re fine…” Where/when was this?
Southwest Ohio like 10-20 years ago. It might have something to do with the fact that it’s a pretty German and Italian area. Or that just made my experience significantly more anomalous. It definitely wasn’t a woke area by any means just that the bigotry wasn’t directed at Jewish people from what I saw.
Gotta get that Us vs. Them thinking ingrained in them early.
