When I say family I mean DNA. They say Hitler styled his eugenics laws after the State of Virginia's. So a black man was someone with a certain percentage of colored blood. One eighth I think, or maybe a 16th I will have to check. So it was true for Jewish blood in Germany.
Speaking of genocide I have been interested in the Rwanda holocaust, now that is impressive, almost a million people murdered in a matter of weeks. And it was done the old fashioned way. No need for German efficiency, just machetes, baseball bats, and other reliable methods
Yes it has been going on for two thousand years, millions of Jews murdered, you would think we would be tired of it by now.
I understand the bit about "the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom." I understand the Masada mind set of the religious zealots. Those Jews are scared shitless of God. Fuck up and He comes down on you with a blood lust. Got to cross every religious T, dot every I. Or else face divine retribution. Like Pastor Hagee said Hitler was doing God's will.
I like your
scripture mark, it resonates with me. I mean that sincerely. It is more Christian than anything I hear from the preachers on God TV Inc.
Speaking of preachers I wonder how Joel is doing.
Why would anyone want to curse a fig tree?
I asked Joel about that, explained it but I forgot what he said.
I have never met a fig tree I did not like.

Pardon the long ramble
and thanks for taking the time to reply.
I always feel honored when you do.
Nietzsche resonated with me too, like an old testament prophet. Or maybe it was the acid.
One more thing
Paul the first Christian, a post by perezoso, very interesting I will search for it.
