Thought For The Day

"And then, with the historic compassion and meekness for which Christianity is known, comes the intervention of the Christian side to say, 'Well, if the Jews were able to push all the Palestinians and bring on the Day of Judgment, then the Messiah would come. Not their messiah, excuse me, but our messiah. And though we're very, very keen on Israel and Zionism in the meantime, those Jews who, at that point, did not convert to Christianity would, very sorry to say, all be killed and go--all go to hell.'"
---Christopher Hitchens, in a lecture commemorating Thomas Paine, the forgotten founding father
