I wonder if the real reason would be the lack of funds?

It's kind of stupid to blame Jews for Jesus' crucifixion, after all, wasn't
that all part of God's plan? In other words, if it weren't for the Jews,
Jesus couldn't have died for people's sins, could he?

We're walking on thin ice here. If there IS predestination, then nobody
is responsible for anything they do. That makes any concept of an after
life reward or punishment a joke.

Without the concept and practice of free will there can be no sin. No
sin, no punishment. There wouldn't be any place for 'grace' either. The
idea of collecting bonus points towards a divine gift goes out the window.

An interesting tangent to this is that Jewish people say they are the
only ones with souls. If you aren't Jewish. you're s.o.l.

If this is indeed true, then any non Jewish person can do anything they
want. Morals only apply to God's children.
