I got a (polite) email recently suggesting that a comic of mine might be antisemitic, and I thought it'd be nice to hear other opinions. For the record, I am Jewish, and thus liable to be antisemitic, however the claim was that by presenting Jesus as supplanting "original God" I was participating in a long-standing claim that Judaism is incomplete.
I can see how that might annoy a Jewish person, but not how it'd be antisemitic? If that's the standard, everyone's antisemitic.
In other words, to my mind antisemitism is the belief that Jews in particular are inferior or evil or other stereotypes. I had never come across anyone claiming that disbelieving the theology was offensive. Possibly it'd be antisemitic, or at least quite dickish, to run into a synagogue and shout "YOU KNOW THIS ALL GOT CLEANED UP BY CHRIST, RIGHT?" But of course, that's what actual Christians believe, no?
@ZachWeinersmith As a practicing member of the Christian faith, I agree with you. If basic Christian doctrine is anti-semetic, then that's a terrifying standard (and maybe waters down how bad actual anti-semites have been)
