Subject: RE: Was 'Lord of the Dance' anti-semitic?
OK - I admit to being a little thick to get the point across. I'll let you decide if it was intentional or not;-) But it has done the job of getting you to clarify your stance. I think!

You now make it crystal clear - I believe that stanza of LotD presents an anti-Jewish belief if it says that ANY of the Jews OF THE DAY brought about the crucifixion of Jesus.


So you mean that anything that says that any Jews of the day brought about the crucifixion of Jesus is anti-Jewish. I note that you use the phrase brought about the crucifixion. By that I take it that you mean they didn't actualy hammer the nails in. That they CAUSED it rather than actualy did it? If so then every Christian teaching in my knowledge can also be construed as anti-Jewish. Should the teachings of 2000 years be modified because they are anti-Jewish? Maybe the world would be a better place if they were but, tell you what though, it ain't gonna happen!

Besides - You only addressed one part of my last post. Should the Coventry Carol be done away with as well?

Cheers
