How can you use such a ridiculous argument?

Paraphrasing:

Teitz - Jews don't believe Jesus was "the Christ", but just another man
        whose death meant very little

Response - The bible says Jesus was, and Jews don't accept that because we're
           not good enough christians.

WAIT A MINUTE!

I won't bother to go into the dribble about the bible being the final
authority.  It was written by men (and a woman, but they took that part out
when the early church decided women were evil and undeserving of enlightenment)
My books say that Jesus was an enlightened man whose only claim to "son of
god" is the same claim we all have to being sons and daughters of the deity.
My books were written by men and women also.  And some claim divine help in
writing their books, but that's not my main point.

I can't speak for jews, but I can speak for myself.  I don't give a good damn
how good christians those calling themselves christians are, I STILL DON'T
BELIEVE that Jesus died for my sins, OR that he was the only son of god.
And somehow, I don't believe the jews would  either.

I don't mind if your views disagree with mine.In fact, many pagans respect 
ALL religion since ALL contain portions of the truth, and I don't think god 
minds what name he/she/it is called.  But don't tell the rest of us that we
don't believe in your religion because you aren't good enough christians.  
And don't try to make proofs based on your book if you don't take mine into
account, and everyone elses too for that matter.
