"The Jews killed Christ. They crucified Jesus! How could they have done that to our Lord!"
Heard that more than once from my sister and our Evangelical friends, which rapidly diminished after I started quoting from Joseph Campbell's 'The Masks of God', or Frazier's 'The Golden Bough' or Carl Jung's 'The Red Book'.
No matter how hard I tried to explain that such a mantra belonged in the decontextualized mythological realm and not in churches.
Even tried to explain that according to The Bible, Jesus was of the Line of King David, and therefore of Royal Jewish blood.
Ergo, Jesus was a Jew. No matter, that seed of blaming Jews for the martyrdom of the Son of God, became yet another reason to loathe them.

Nope. Give me someone to blame...all of them.
