Romney a Jew? Jews as some cave dwelling villain?

Okay. After seeing that comment, I read the whole thread.

There was no such assertion by anyone posting here. You are an idiot and a liar.

Thanks Neferti. Monk is very defensive because 1/34th of him is Jewish. I wonder what the other 33 parts of him are.

I think I can answer that, and it may clear up quite a bit about JM.

1 part Jewish
33 parts anti-semite.

It's no surprise that Jews are sympathetic to Mormons

They both believe that JC didn't die on the cross.
Mormons believe he travelled to America

Neither do Muslims or Hindus ... apparently he was pulled down alive, his wounds healed with aloe vera, and then went walkabout, supposedly planting a (Oak I think) tree in Britain which is said to still be living today.
The spool I got from the spuedo-hindu cult I got around with, reckoned he never went to Egypt, but hid from the age of 12 outside the Roman Empire in northern India, which if true would explain how he learnt swami fakirs tricks ect (considered magic or miracles).
Apparently at age 12 Jesus (real name Joseph .. Jesus is Roman translation/interpretation) he and is relos had to return to town of birth for census. Jesus takes off in the city and his mother frantically searches for him. On the 3rd day she found him in the temple debating religion/spiritual/metaphysical concepts with the priests and recognised the priests saw him as a threat because he kept proving them wrong. So they hid in India.

Jesus belonged to a small cult known as the Essenes. They believed the creator was the devil not god, and the only way to escape eternal reincanation and get back to their god was to lose all your beliefs, both religious and political. [Note Jews don't believe in reincarnation like the early Christians did]
If he did go to India, I can understand why they'd consider the creator the devil. Hinduism posits Shiva [Lord of serpents and demons] is the creator. He is the invincible pretty boy (Shiva was said to be the most beautiful) who carries a trident (3 pronged fork).

Years ago in Sydney I let Mormons into my house so I could bomb them with questions I know they cannot answer.
1st the get a framed image of a skinny blonde bearded bloke out saying "This is our lord Jesus" .. I replied "He doesn't look very Jewish" .. so they spent the next 20 minutes trying to explain why.
They never told me they reckoned Jesus went to America (maybe they didn't get that far) but they did say that a bunch of Jews went to north America 500 years before the birth of Jesus, interacted with the locals, had wars, and those who shaved their heads were considered evil.
Anyway I bombed them with a baited question. First I asked "Do you worship a god?" .. to which they answered "Yes/Of course .. but we worship the one true god" .. then I replied "Well I reckon if there was a god, he, she, or it wouldn't be so vain and concieted as to desire being worshiped in the first place, that's something I'd expect from and egoistic malevolent entity, Y'know like Satan". So they packed up and left, but did leave a copy of the book of mormon behind.

I notice the 7 day adventurers reckon they're spuedo-Jews and do the sabbath thing on saturdays. Too many of these vege nazi jesus freaks around my place for my liking.

On library puter, got booted for lunch.

Righto, back to origins of Christianity ...

Christianity is a complete rip-off of Hinduism wrapped around its few core precepts which are Buddhist ideas. Turn the other cheek, Love thy neighbor/enemy, and the pacifist theme are Buddhist. The Stories and concepts are all Hindu. All of them.
When the Catholics hijacked Christianity in the 3rd century AD, they copied the Trimurties and called them the Trinity, they appropriated the idea of Sainthood, and put the priest caste above all others.
The Jesus story is a reproduction of Ganesha Purana, except decapitation was substituted with crucifixion.
Then the Protestants took the fairytales on board and rejected the Papacy.

I could bang on all day about this stuff, but got something else to do.
