The ashkenazi Jews of eastern Europe had a religious revival in the 19th
century. It's called hasidism. These people have lengthy genealogies, the
highest mean IQ in the world, concentrated wealth, and some of the highest
birth rates in the world. wherever they go, they influence government policy
(remember New Square , the orthodox community that sold their votes and made
Hilary clinton senator in NY?). These religious jews began zionism and it is
their communities that are in Palestinian territory that will not leave and
create a situation that holds the world hostage. They base their lives on
Biblical 'mythology.'
If you read gershom scholem's The Messianic Idea in Judaism, you find a
remarkable disclaimer. They attribute their communal zeal to a redemption in
the 'here and now' and then Scholem goes on to say that this cannot be
compared to the self sacrifice of Jesus Christ. He actually feels it
necessary to reject the notion that the communal zeal of Hasids might come
from Christian ideas, but it is true. The Hasids renewed their religion by
building the 'Kingdom of God' within their communities, creating on an ethnic
basis what Jesus had decreed for us all. They base their lives on 'Biblical
mythology.'
It works for some...
How much of the mythology have you penetrated?
