Blue Bird,
" I didn't know about the Jewish attitude towards Christians and people you call Gentiles before I came here. Apart from your fathers I see no real difference between Jews and Non-Jews in behavior and godliness that would justify a moral superiority. It's really challenging for me to keep a friendly attitude towards the Jewish people when I read about your negative thoughts about Gentiles and Christians (I think you mean us when you speak about "their so-called bibical text"). It's really sad that you leave no door open."
I think you may be doing something similar here, putting all Jews in one category. Where does "moral superiority" fit in here on this forum? Do we defend our Torah, yes. Do we have superiority over others, absolutely not.
To know people, no matter who they are, or from what background or religion, if any. they belong to, is to know their heart. Yes, we may have different beliefs and disagree on many things, but that doesn't mean all are unfriendly or bad people.
