Finally: Stating that “Jews killed Jesus” is a factual claim.

Fact based on what evidence exactly? Interpretation of the Bible?

So someone that claims to hate the concept of religion is using the religious text from one religion as a rationalization to push the same narrative that hate groups promote.

No, it’s not hair splitting, it’s of fundamental importance if you are ever going to have a hope of discussing something conceptual like politics or ideology with someone.

I think it’s of fundamental important that you work on your critical thinking skills if you are ever going to have a hope of discussing something conceptual like politics or ideology with someone. Defending someone that hates similar things to what you hate can lead you down same bad pathways. You’re literally defending antisemitic “Christ killer” narratives using some very faulty logic around it being fine for someone that claims to dislike religion arguing based solely on religious texts.

Based on what evidence exactly?

You’re completely missing the point. A claim can be either factual or non-factual, whether the claim is correct is irrelevant in that regard. A factual claim can be supported or disproven by evidence, a non-factual claim cannot. Just the fact that you are disputing the quality of the purported evidence for the claim proves that the claim is factual, and can be discussed and proven/disproven by rational people that disagree without hating each other.

Defending someone that hates similar things to what you hate…

At no point did I say that I hate anything. In fact I wouldn’t say I hate any of the things discussed here. Just the fact that you think I do shows that you are confusing the discussion of a concept (whether a factual claim can be bigoted) with supporting that concept and possible consequences.

You’re literally defending “Christ killer” narratives

No, I never said anything about whether the statements were correct or not, what I said was that they can be discussed and proven/disproven without having an opinion about whether the people involved are good or bad people. Once again you are conflating the factual statement with the people making them, and attributing to them opinions they don’t have, because you seem to have a hard time separating the claims that are being discussed from your perceived consequences of those claims being correct. You also seem to have a hard time understanding that someone could be interested in discussing a factual claim, even though they don’t like the facts they find.

For the record: I haven’t looked into any evidence as to who killed Jesus, and frankly think that any historical evidence to the fact would likely be too old to be conclusive anyway. Finally, I don’t really care who killed him, that fact being established wouldn’t change the world, or my perception of it, by one bit.

So you’re arguing without any familiarity of the evidence, just going along with a antisemitic narrative because it conforms to your feelings?
