Criticism of The Pro-Notzri Statements of Ben Shapiro
When Ben Shaprio makes comments saying that Christians should go back to Church or trying to overtly show the Jewish influences in Catholicism, Shapiro is creating a social atmosphere which incentives excessive relations between the two (as if to imply that there is some type of mutual relationship between them). Of course, Ben Shapiro acknowledges the Pogroms done by older generations of Christians, but what Ben Shapiro should realize is that there are disproportionally less educated Christians that remain religious or [at least] remain in a denomination that emphasizes the theological partnership.
Shapiro and his listeners should also be aware of the fact that Jews spent almost two thousand years dealing with problems started by the Christian world. I don’t have the mention the blood libels, forced debates, expulsions, and inquisitions that took place in the name of Christianity.
It is true that many Christians want to connect to Hashem, but the fact that an unfair percentage of Christians collectively hate the religion practices having a direct connection with Hashem says a lot about these Christians.. Shapiro and his Neo-Orthodox Jewish colleagues might use terms like “Judeo-Christian”, but there’s little evidence that Christians use such a term. Why? Because why would they give up their dominance in Western society? Christianity is still the biggest religion in the West despite the growth of Islam in almost every Christian majority country including Russia…
Also, Christians don’t see themselves as being equal to Jews. That idea became popular among the Co-Religionists during the Enlightenment Era where the Christians were becoming more progressive. The Co-Religionist culture has always led to Jews having to surrender the entirety of their Judaism for fake Co-Existence which is rarely long-term…
From my personal experiences, most educated Christians would denounce the trinity, if given evidence of its fallacy, because it doesn’t make any logical sense. Whether or not they would accept the Torah (denounce the Gospel) is a different story as they’re most people are less likely to convert because to convert to Judaism is even challenging. But what Shapiro is doing is telling people to actually embrace something which is logically and theologically wrong. The least that he could so is to tell people to believe in the G-d that gave the Torah to Moses.
