[QUOTE="Wutang, post: 1479552, member: 2952"] Hatred would be a strong word to describe the feelings a lot of Jews have towards Christianity since it gives the impression they are constantly seething over the faith, but as someone who grew up around a lot of Jews I would say there's a definite antipathy towards Christianity from Jews that I don't really see them hurl towards other religions. Most of these Jews don't believe in the tenants of their faith even if they might still practice some of the rituals of it just for the sake of keeping tradition so I wouldn't say it's based on any sort of theological reason. The average Jew doesn't believe in God but he will sure as hell affirm that Jesus is most definitely not the the Son of the God that they don't believe in.
