Notice how the second anybody says anything bad about jews, their career is pronounced dead? This is only possible if the “anti-Semitic canard” that jews control the media is true. That seems to be the biggest problem with “anti-Semitic conspiracy theories”…they are almost always true.
Well. It seems that Kevin Sorbo is just on a roll these days! He’s said pretty much all he can say about atheists, and now, like many before him, he has come for the Jews! And boy, does he have a message for them!
Continuing his promotional tour for “God’s Not Dead” on various Christian radio programs I’ve never heard of, Sorbo popped by Jerry Newcomb’s “Vocal Point” show to talk about how Mel Gibson is responsible for opening the doors of opportunity to Christian filmmakers in Hollywood. Alas, he did not stop at the obvious dog-whistles.
Sorbo stated that he could not figure out why “The Jews” were so upset at Mel Gibson for “The Passion of The Christ.”
Via RightWingWatch:
“He got attacked when he was shooting ‘The Passion’ from the Jewish community, saying ‘look at the way you’re portraying us,’” Sorbo said. “News bulletin: you did kill Jesus!”Newcombe immediately attempted to rein in Sorbo’s statement, saying that the Jews actually just “delivered him over to the Romans,” to which Sorbo replied that the Jews still “had a hand in it” before noting that, despite their concerns, the film went on to earn hundreds of millions of dollars “so Mel sort of had the last laugh, there”
Yeah. He sure did. What is Mel Gibson doing now, by the way? Asking for a friend.
You know, I actually have a bit of a pet theory that when Christians like Sorbo say “The Atheists,” they really mean “The Jews,” but mince their words because all the normal people are, rightly, horrified by anti-Semitism. This is especially evident in all their rantings about how people say “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas”–because, come on, what’s the other holiday that a lot of people might be celebrating here? You know they’re not talking about Kwanzaa.
Given that Sorbo is so very concerned about people’s personal beliefs regarding the existence of God, he might like to know that this is the exact sentiment that led my own mother to think the Church mightbe full of shit. True story, when she was five or so, the nuns tried to float that whole “the Jews killed Jesus” thing on past her, and, being that she lived in a Jewish neighborhood, she was just not buying it. So she says to the nun “Excuse me, Sister, my best friend is Jewish, and last week she ate too much vanilla pudding and threw up all over my mom’s carpet and my new doll, so I really don’t think she could get it together to kill Jesus.” Did not go over well, but from then on, she didn’t believe a word they said.
I’m gonna go ahead and say that after this, while Kevin Sorbo may not believe that God’s not dead, his career certainly is.
