  • Yeah, but Christianity pretty much invented antisemitism, and our Christianity as we have it was likely much more influenced by Greek speaking gentile communities in Rome and Asia Minor than by the early Jewish Christians.

    I am not a scholar, but my current thinking is that the Jewish/Petrine Christianity started by Jesus’ disciples largely disappeared and is attributed to an early christian sect called the Ebionites. What we have today is largely Pauline and Roman by descent.

    Judaism is not generally trying to convert the masses.

    Christianity is inherently more dangerous because it is both exclusive and evangelical.


  • I guess Joplin or Branson would be the only other options, but I haven’t lived there in years.

    KCMO does not want to be in another state, because it is far, far superior - and older than its Kansas counterpart, which oddly enough is named after it.

    That’s right.

    Kansas City, KS is named after Kansas City, MO







  • I just want to recognize a really interesting, high effort comment. I’ve been thinking a lot about this stuff as I deconstruct my upbringing and this comment was really edifying for what it is: a thoughtful take, not portrayed as fact, but presented reasonably.

    I wish I had more to add to the conversation, because I hate to just write a long upvote but there we have it. Really great read, thanks for taking the time.
