Did the Jews Kill Jesus?
Did the Jews kill Jesus? The Gospels say yes. We say no.
Uh... who cares?
According to the Rambam, it would have been a mitzvah if we had.
It is a mitzvah, however, to eradicate Jewish traitors, minnim, and apikorsim, and to cause them to descend to the pit of destruction, since they cause difficulty to the Jews and sway the people away from God, {as did Jesus of Nazareth and his students, and Tzadok, Baithos, and their students. May the name of the wicked rot.} From Here.
That whole section is great, btw. We're not allowed to save idolaters from drowning, regardless of whether it is shabbos or not. We can't offer them medicine or even rent them homes. You can't even speak about them in a kind manner or give them gifts.
Well, okay, see, since we live in America, and are subject to secular rule and would probably get in trouble, we don't actually have to follow all this right now.
But that's part of the evil of living in Galus- we're forced to be moral and ethical, to some extent. Hopefully Moshiach will come soon and I can start killing pagans and heretics right and left.
Seriously, frum people.
How can you ever accept anything the rambam says as valid after that page of gibberish?
How can you ever accept the Torah as the true compass of morality after reading that page?
What, exactly, is the big deal about being an idol worshipper, that you deserve death for it? How does idolatry render your life worthless more so than, say, atheism?
Why should we not kill a convicted child rapist, for example, but oh boy, once he starts praying to Zeus, off with his head. What sense does that make?
