The Relationship Between Judaism and Christianity

[Jude86]

A lot of the questions you asked do get to the heart of something that's a bit difficult for me to discuss, and that's the issue of brotherhood between our two religions; because, to be honest (and maybe this is a case of Christian privilege) I had always considered us to be brothers and so it initially came as a bit of slap in the face to find out that we aren't really seen that way.

At the risk of sounding like an idealistic peace-nik, wouldn't it be cool if all peoples of all religions were to find some reason to call each other "brother" and "sister"?

Sounding like a peacenik is perfectly fine. I'm a peacenik myself, though I often find myself on the short end of that. Thank you for your encouragement.
