read Martin Luther's writings on Jews if you don't believe me.
chatterbox24, this is what he's talking about:

ORIGINAL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Jews_and_Their_Lies
On the Jews and Their Lies (German: Von den Jüden und iren Lügen; in modern spelling Von den Juden und ihren Lügen) is a 65,000-word antisemitic treatise written in 1543 by the German Reformation leader Martin Luther.
In the treatise, Luther describes Jews as a "base, whoring people, that is, no people of God, and their boast of lineage, circumcision, and law must be accounted as filth."[1] Luther wrote that they are "full of the devil's feces ... which they wallow in like swine,"[2] and the synagogue is an "incorrigible whore and an evil slut".[3]
In the first ten sections of the treatise, Luther expounds, at considerable length, upon his views concerning Jews and Judaism and how these compare against Christians and Christianity. Following this exposition, Section XI of the treatise advises Christians to carry out seven remedial actions. These are
for Jewish synagogues and schools to be burned to the ground, and the remnants buried out of sight;
for houses owned by Jews to be likewise razed, and the owners made to live in agricultural outbuildings;
for their religious writings to be taken away;
for rabbis to be forbidden to preach, and to be executed if they do;
for safe conduct on the roads to be abolished for Jews;
for usury to be prohibited, and for all silver and gold to be removed and "put aside for safekeeping"; and
for the Jewish population to be put to work as agricultural slave laborers.[4]
The prevailing scholarly view[5] since the Second World War is that the treatise exercised a major and persistent influence on Germany's attitude toward its Jewish citizens in the centuries between the Reformation and the Holocaust. Four hundred years after it was written, the Nazis displayed On the Jews and Their Lies during Nuremberg rallies, and the city of Nuremberg presented a first edition to Julius Streicher, editor of the Nazi newspaper Der Stürmer, the newspaper describing it as the most radically antisemitic tract ever published.[6]
This man was not a man of God. He was absorbed with his own power, and was in simple terms consumed by evil. Just as Hitler was.
Without going into a religious good Christian bad Christian debate, I will only say I believe in three entities, God, Jesus, and the holy spirit. Jesus himself was a jew, and his own people persecuted him. If you believe the bible, when he rose again, it was not only for his own people but all people in walks faiths and religions, to give forgiveness for our sins and lead us to eternal life through those teachings and messages of God. It is through love not hate that we are enlightened. Faith is not to be questioned, one is only to have it, because it is beyond human understanding. People of God have died horrible deaths or suffered persecution because of that simple belief, or being different, and not conforming. The world of hate, and misled people or cowards let this happen. Evil invades anywhere you let it, including churches or men who want to take God words rearrange them and make them vile rules they have made by misinterpretations to harm others. Its the heart of people that are seen.
IT is never promised for it to be an easy life, and as you can see it can be tragic, nor is perfection expected. God who some people call ( higher being) or other choice names want people to try to live as closely as you can to the moral codes. If you mess up, you are still loved though always hoping you will find your way back. (and he already knows whether you do or not because he knows all things)
This is how I believe far from science, and logical thinking. But Christians can like science too! We like a lot of things, including sometimes things we shouldn't do! Just human.
All my own view, but there are a few who believe it too.
If you are a Christian and are a Protestant your sect ultimately derives from Martin Luther who is widely viewed as a very holy man. His anti-Semitism was the standard of the day and encouraged by the Roman church as well.
Protestant, is a generic term, in todays society that simply means Not catholic. The sect I identify with is from Palestine, which existed before the reform of Martin Luther. Many died horrible deaths, just as the jews did.
Christ is always the head of the church, not the man on the pulpit and each church is considered a body within itself. We are taught to hate no one, and no one is ever lost. They simply have to utter Jesus name and believe in their hears and they are saved. A light goes on that has to be fed for it to grow. We do not believe that a person never introduced to his knowledge will parish, but do believe the ones who deny there is a God will.
On a personal note, I do not believe there is one right RELIGION, but identify with this one. I can easily go into any church or denomination, and still hear the word of God. There is good in almost all things, if you look for it, very few things are pure evil nor pure good.
