As for Jews, a major difference -- to me and a sizeable minority,
judging by anecdotal evidence -- is that they tend not to provoke the
bashing impulse.

That's classic bigotry. We had a kid in our dorm whom we punched
regularly. Our justification was that he always acted in such
a way as to attract punches.

They do not proselytise or feel the need to annoy
their co-workers by bearing witness, testifying or handing out little
pamphlets. There are no Jewish televangelists polluting the airwaves
with ads for their mega-synagogues.

Right. There's 2 billion Christians in the world, and you
judge them not by the hospitals, charity, hard work, etc, but
only the tiny fraction of wackos on the TV. That's why
I'm happy to reciprocate and now firmly believe that all
British women are Hyacinth and all British men are Benny Hill.


That would be great! I miss Benny Hill!


BTW, if the above is considered offensive, I don't really care. I did
not start this thread, nor do I go about offending others with public
flaunting of faith.

But it's always amusing to see demonstrated repeatedly that
atheists are far more irrational than any Christians I know.

Hmmm. How so? I always find the discussions of such things to be
interesting, and a bit enlightening...
