Default Re: Jesus and the Number 14

Speaking of Jesus, I had a coworker today have a discussion with myself and another about his irritation regarding Stupid Easter. And, he continued, what is this whole Passover thing about, anyway? And those Jews sure are elitist, and think stupid things.

Turned out in the course of the conversation that he did not know the following:
1. That Christianity starts from after Jesus.
2. That Judaism preceded Christianity and that Christ was Jewish.
3. That Jewish people actually had more bad times than just the Jewish Holocaust.
4. Any fucking thing about anything.

I said, "What I hear you saying is that you are profoundly, if not totally ignorant of the subject at hand, that subject that you have, however, developed very strong conclusions about. Do you see that?"

I can understand not knowing a lot about Christianity or Judaism, especially as he had no religious training or upbringing; I myself when I was about 14 had to ask- when it came up in a conversation- who Pontius Pilate was, because I plain did not know.

My coworker is almost 50. Though in his defense he's emotionally about 14.

He asked me one day, "This is going to sound like a dumb question, but do vampires really exist?"
