I am a religious person, a spiritual person. I'm a Jew.
But...
Christ is like a sword
Holy crap, can you IMAGINE believing wholeheartedly in a religion that taught you to think of your Lord and Savior as a sword? A knife? That's so violent. Kind of like crucifixion. I can't imagine coming from a faith based in elevating oneself above the rest of the world, and worshipping a vengeful god.
As Jews we do have the whole "Chosen People" thing, but I've been taught that this means we are *extra* responsible to be good, righteous humans... Not that we are special or get rights other people don't.
