Dear Zedd, you are a mouth-breathing moron

Zedd has failed to acknowledge that the offensive usage of “Jew” didn’t originate with Erdosain. Bartman points out that the annoying little brother Nephi refers to himself as a Jew. So according to the Book of Mormon, the Book of Mormon is a story about Jews.

@Bartman

Interestingly the Book of Mormon uses Jew 90 or so times. And the original “author,” Nephi, uses it to define himself:
And then shall the remnant of our seed know concerning us, how that we came out from Jerusalem, and that they are descendants of the Jews. - 2 Nephi 30:4

I have charity for the Jew – I say Jew, because I mean them from whence I came. - 2 Nephi 33:8
It uses Israelite only once. And Hebrew is also only used once, and that in reference to language not people. The preferred form in the BoM though seems to be, “house of Israel.” That is used 122 times. And even more common is the local appilations to the sub-groups Nephite, Laminite, etc.

Using the word Jew to describe a group of people from a book who describe themselves as Jews hardly seems anti-Semitic to me.

If using the word “Jew” to describe Israelites in inherently antisemetic, then the author of 2 Nephi is antisemetic and Erdosain is merely quoting him.
