i'm writing a script for class that's based around the bible story of jesus's crucifixion (details unimportant), and so i'm doing a ton of research into it, including just straight up reading the bible, and i never realised how fucking anti-semitic the text is. like don't get me wrong i'm not an idiot, i knew that the church was anti-semitic, but considering i was a kid when i was a christian, i rarely got into the actual written text, and not the regurgitated kid-friendly stuff. they really kept hammering home that jews are evil, huh?

#charlie.txt #context in tags #im writing a story that reframes judas's betrayal as a pre-planned strategy created by jesus himself to make himself into a martyr #and judas complies bc theyre lovers and he wont deny jesus even when its the wrong thing to do #its a whole thing created to draw parallels to judas's love for jesus being misunderstood the same way gay love is #but everything im researching is just... holy shit???#judas came from jewish parents - was the treasurer of the group - then betrayed jesus for the equivalent of $200ish #and then a lot of depictions of him look like jewish caricatures #and thats not the half of it #the bible cannot shut the fuck up about jews #joseph of arimathea was afraid of the jewish council so he followed jesus in secret???#like im aware this is a very 'yeah no duh the bible is anti-semitic'#but i didn't expect it to be so....... explicitly stated every other verse.#i literally cannot respect christianity in the same way i as an atheist can respect islam judaism budhism etc.#the text itself is rotted from the inside out
