The Hypatian Shore

Jews oppressing Christians, Christians oppressing Jews

Currently, there is friction over a building site where tradition affirms as the site of the last supper. The evidence?

"In chapter two of the Acts of Apostles, Peter describes the place, mentioning that it is near David’s Tomb"
It's on the paucity of this evidence alone that has justified belief about this site for centuries.












 

 

The site now has Jews and Christians at odds.

“The construction work going on at the site raises the suspicion that someone is trying to Judaize a Catholic site and prevent freedom of religious expression.”
What about Jews freedom of religion? It's fine and dandy in the mind of the Christian for the Christian, but a Jew? No. It's a good thing there is a modern court system in Israel, otherwise, there would have been rioting in the streets.

Incidentally, I wonder about the mind of Christian Zionist in this situation. Israel for the Jews - until you mess with our perceived religious priorities.

For a secularist and atheist like me, this is just one more unnecessary division between people, made necessary by religious priorities - all of which, utterly false.

About MC Pickard

Primary interest is where religion intersects with the state, issues like evolution, creationism, science, and gay marriage. I am passionate about science, reason and believing in as many true thing as possible. I am critical of religion, skeptical of woo in general. My tertiary interests include city and urban development, art, design, weightlifting, and I can not get enough of Brewers or Packers coverage. I've also been an ordained Minister with the ULC since 5/2007.
