Writing today about how when I was a kid in school, our 5th grade teacher explained that the Holocaust happened because when the Jews killed Jesus, they said his blood would be on them and their children.
And how weird it was, in retrospect, that as Seventh Day Adventists we appropriated so much of Jewish culture and tradition into our own way of life -- keeping the Sabbath from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday, our kosher diet -- while also espousing this incredibly vile and antisemitic trope that they deserved persecution because they killed the Christ.
Weird. Anyway, I've hit my thousand words for today and hoping for another thousand tonight.
