Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry's goes on Tucker Carlson and says, 'I love Jesus Christ'

59. The Talmud also discusses the place of Jesus in Jewish theology, and neither has anything to do with my question.

My question was not about theological distinctions between the two faiths. It was about YOUR attitude towards people of different denominations (not necessarily faiths, since my proposition was based on comparing non-observing, non-denominational persons born into their respective religious backgrounds and rejecting them) who express identical sentiments. As such, it is an analogous question on its face.

The only question in your post was "Where did he say...that he's not a Jew (proud or not)?", referring to Cohen.The rest was a lecture. A lecture to a Jewish DUer. A lecture to a Jewish DUer about loving Jesus regardless of faith. And this lecture inexplicably ends with accusing Israel, not the militant Islamist terrorists, of "genocide". This is not only tone deaf, it presumes authority to pass judgements on Jews and on Israel.

And in this respect, your deflection is telling. Without answering my question directly, you are still implying that between a Muslim and a Jew with identical outlooks on the religion they were born into and chose to reject, that you would treat a Muslim with more deference than you did a Jew. And the basis for your argument is your own simplistic interpretation of Jesus' place in Islam, not the apples to apples comparison that I proposed to you.

Of course, none of it has anything to do with the OP, which is about an extreme left-wing self-described Jew talking to the extreme right-wing host who is very popular with extreme right-wing Christian Evangelicals and professing his love to Jesus, the Evangelical icon who is, in the eyes of the host and his followers, the embodiment of the divine inspiration behind their right wing ideology.
