Emily, I am not exactly sure what you are saying: if you are showing some undestanding about this statement Share made, or indicating she deserved the harsh responses she received?
Here's the statement: > >> > Hi Mike, why do you think that [hatred of Jews] happened? > >> > I'm wondering if they were the first group to espouse the > >> > idea of one God rather than many gods. Could that have > >> > been the reason? I believe Barry has a deeper understanding than most of religions, their origins etc. Okay, great. Why not enlighten us, if there is some misconception? I mean if you ask 99% of people, "Who discovered America", the answer would be Christopher Columbus. I mean I'm not even sure who discoverd America. But from what I've gathered in the last couple years, it wasn't CC. If you ask 99% of people, "who came up with the idea of "one God", the answer is going to be the Jews. Again, I'm not sure who came up with idea of "One God". So, what's the value in ridiculing someone who asks a question, or makes a statement along these lines? Why not just provide a correction? Anyway, going to bed now. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Emily Reyn wrote: > > You know, I ask a lot of stupid questions and throw out a lot of unenlightened bullshit.
