As a Goy, I cannot help but take offense to the holier than thou mindset that can be found in verses like Isaiah 42:6



Which is echoed in the New Testament:



Are we to believe that the Hebrew light shines so much brighter than the light of the Lakotas, the Zulus, the Celts, the Tibetans, the Greeks et cetra et cetera? These verses and others like them are really no more than a reflection of the universal tendency that can be found in any tribal religion; they are statements of a tribes unifying belief in their exceptionally divine status when compared with those others who are merely human all to human.

Of course it is not the Hebrew people as a race that I find offensive just some of the Hebrew scriptures. I find some facets of the religion offensive. I have no problem with the race. I think that is a distinction worth making. But of course the two are related. The temptation for a Jewish person to actually believe themselves to be the chosen race must be very strong. I don't think you can adhere to the Jewish faith without believing it. It's another case of religion effing the world up. I find it much more difficult to respect religions with a strong racial component than otherwise. Anyway, that's my complaint. There's not much more to say about it I suppose.

There is a Hebrew nation, but not a race...The race should be Semites, I believe, but where ever the jews have went they have married, and slaves if they allowed themselves to be circumcised soon became a part of the community... If there were Chinese Jews they would look like Chinese; but the culture would remain Jewish... They have a very dominant culture...

Semites is a race that includes but is not limited to the sons of Jacob. Why are there so many confusing names? It is rather silly to talk about Arab antisemetism when Arabs are Semites. Perhaps its time for a new word? Scripturally its a matter of blood lines not just culture... and the scriptures are of course a major part of the foundation of that culture. There is no way to separate the race, the bloodline from the culture. Indeed that is the problem.

If the "light unto the Gentiles" was purely cultural I would find it much less offensive provided I could be initiated into that culture. But no that is not the case (or is it?) I am a Goy and the closest I can come to being part of the light of the chosen people is to be a mere reflection of it... a Moon to that Sun. Its horribly offensive. Isaiah is however, several thousand years old and as I have said it is a universal tendency for primitive tribal religions to include a mythology that glorifies their tribe above the other tribes. And I consider the Nazi religion (Wotanism or whatever it was called) to be a primitive tribal religion. But to still hold to that mythology today in these more enlightened times is just not something I will excuse or accept. But again, perhaps it is only the least intelligent and most backward of the Jews that believe in these things just as it is the least intelligent and most backward of the Anglo-Saxons and Germans that still believe in the racial superiority of the so called "Aryans". Yes there is a parallel there. It has to be talked about. But it goes without saying that an attempted genocide is infinitely more offensive to humanity than claiming to be "the light unto the Gentiles".

A culture that attempts to conquer all other cultures and wipe out some of them along the way is perhaps the exact opposite of a culture that attempts to save and enLighten other cultures. Still, the Nazis thought they were doing the world a favor too.
