I’m Jewish and have been told very angrily that I killed Jesus more than once. It’s fun.

    Here’s how I try to diplomatically look at it from the receiving end- If you believe in a world where your god has a plan, then part of his plan was to create Jews for the purposes of killing Jesus. Because of that, every Jew who ever existed, exists and will exist is only around so that Jesus’ death would happen. Therefore, all Jews are responsible for killing Jesus.

    And before you say it, no, apparently Jesus wasn’t a Jew. He was the first Christian.

      For sure - if Jesus had to die for Christian salvation, they should be treating modern Jews like their personal heroes if they must insist on linking them to the event.
