What's Happening in Ireland ?

[dextrous63]

The argument goes that the Jews voted to kill Jesus.  I can see how some Christians might take umbrage with that.

[muddy]

It was the Romans and Jesus was himself a Jew.

I thought it was a Jewish crowd that chose between Jesus and Barrabas to be released, or not.

Anyway, we're not arguing.  You asked the question and I provided the standard explanations for why Ireland seems to be Anti-Semitic😊

The only people who are innocent of religious hatred are Atheists

You're forgetting the Fundamentalist Atheists

That's the trouble with rent a mob - they get it  wrong most of the time .

"Rent a mob"??  Was that phrase used in an authorised Catholic version of the Bible?😬

[muddy]

Rent a mob is a tactic that has been used throughout history

Yes, but God in his extreme mercy infiltrated their minds and persuaded them to vote to release Barrabas.  This was for the simple reason that had Jebus not been crucified, the Christian church would never have been founded.

An alternative situation can be seen if you should watch the famous Monty Python film 'The Life of Brian' (which, I hasten to add, does not feature the Brian of whom we are all now familiar).
