Wrong. Talmud sanhedrin, baba mezia, 114a-114b. "Only jews are human. Gentiles are animals." Babylonian talmud. Funk & wagnall's jewish encyclopaedia, 1907, gentile, page 617. "Even the best of the gentiles should be killed."

The central text of Rabbinic Judaism and the primary source of Jewish religious law and Jewish theology. Talmud: Schene luchoth haberuth, p 250b "Although the non-Jew has the same body structure as the Jew, they compare with the Jew as a monkey to a human." Supremacism anyone?

This is false -- the central text of Rabbinic Judaism and the primary source of Jewish religious law and Jewish theology is the Torah, the Bible The Talmud is a record of successive attempts at interpretation of that text, which frequently argue with and contradict each other

The Talmud is several thousand years' worth of printed-out forum threads about the Tanakh.

The fact that Christian antisemites in the American fundamentalist tradition specifically say that the Talmud is the "Jewish Bible" is an enormous absurdity and points to the deep intellectual impoverishment of their own tradition

as an aside, it's interesting to watch the local antisemite approach the talmud the way that evangelicals approach their bible namely, by pulling random badly-translated quotes out of context and then pondering "their inner meaning" or whatever

Evangelicals don't even actually read the Bible They're, and I cannot emphasize this enough as a former evangelical, so fucking stupid

The "fucking stupid" part I won't dispute, but as an ex-evangelical, I would say they absolutely read the Bible *all the fricking time* -- DAILY "Bible study" is a norm in the culture -- but they read it in this weirdly fragmented and pre-framed way

Yeah I had one of those NIV "study Bibles" with all the fun sidebars telling you exactly what everything is supposed to mean and what it specifically *doesn't* mean even if it sure looks like it means that

(See, evangelicals do understand the basic idea of the Talmud, it's just that their version is really shallow and dumb)
