I am sorry, but my favorite philosophy professor ever is right when he says that fascism is the greatest form of inauthenticity.

@bayreuth79 I think it would be more accurate to assume that the new testament's polemic against the Jews was really due to "editorial" work of later editions as they sought to make Christianity a "new" religion. I can see this especially in the lines where there are accusations as "you... the Jews". These type of lines are absurd and nonesensical if you think that the accuser in the story was a jew and never thought of himself anything bu t Jew.

I forgive Heidegger what he did, but that he did it to himself, how could i forgive that?

[bayreuth79]

It would, of course, be problematic for Christians to "hate Jews", not least because Christ himself was Jewish as were the apostles. However, I do think you could make a reasonable, but not air tight, case that, somewhat paradoxically, the New Testament itself contains a polemic against the "Jews" and that that has inevitably contributed to, while necessitating, anti-semitism. +Random Thoughts+

..d catholics had different interpretations of christianity and there was plenty of wars among these two groups. I respect your point of view in the sense that I think I have learned something from debating with you. It was nicetalkingto you too. :)

If I seemed to imply that it is the explicit teachings ofthe biblewhich condonethe hatred ofthe jews, then I apologize. This is not what I meant to say. I think it is religious belief in itself, which demands an absolute knowledge of one position that causes different religious groups to be hostile with one another. The jews are the scapegoats probaby because the are such a small and persistent group. Its not that they dont share common beliefs, its that they identify differently. Protestants an

I can't reply to all of this... but, in my opinion, you made some good points regarding the Communists and some not so good points regarding the Nazis.

As a Christian, I find offensive your statement that Christians hate Jews simply because they don't share *some* of our beliefs. That simply isn't true, and it contradicts Christ's philosophy. The Jews are the scapegoat of history. It has much to do with rotten politics as it does with rotten theology.

Good talking with you, though. =)

the advancement of science only happens because people routinely prove eachother wrong. You have to go through rigorous peer review to get anything done. Once something is accepted, 90-100 percent of scientists accept it and build on it. With religion, people begin fighting over interpretations...and by nature power struggles ensue because nowone can agree. The conversion of people is based on power...this is how the muslims gained followers and why the crusades happened. The catholics wanted je

....but that doesnt make it true. To transcendentalize science is impossible because there is nothing to transcend by definition. Rather, the scientific method can be advanced more clearly and with more focus if not for people who make religion important. This is because science is base don evidence. Religion is definitely in our history, but to say that it is built into us is another question (genes, etc.). Anyway, to call Science god does not mean people will split into factions...in fact s
