So the Pope is a marxist.... (wait for it)

My intent in that post was to point out the hypocrisy of the Christian ethic--not to indicate any moral superiority of Jews. There is a story which describes my point of view.

A friend came to see Mulla Nasruddin from somewhere deep in the country, bringing fresh produce. Delighted, Nasruddin cooked the vegetables, made a soup and shared it with his guest. The next day a man arrived and stated that he was a friend of the man who brought the vegetables, and he was also invited in to have some soup. Then the following day another arrived and said he was "the friend of the friend of the man who brought you the vegetables." He was also fed. Daily this scenario repeated itself.
Finally the Mulla was exasperated. One day yet another stranger appeared. "I am the friend of the friend of the friend of the friend of the friend of the friend who brought you the vegetables."
He sat down, like all the rest, expecting a meal. Nasruddin boiled some plain water and handed it to him in a bowl.
"What is this?"
"That is the soup of the soup of the soup of the soup of the soup of the soup of the vegetables which was brought by my friend."

The further from the source, the more diluted and false the teachings become.
