Charles Taylor Finds YahwehPosted on Jun 10, 2009
Former Liberian President Charles Taylor has found a new religion, reports say. The one-time African dictator, on trial at The Hague accused of crimes against humanity, has decided to convert to Judaism. According to one of his wives, after arriving in the Netherlands “he got to know that he really, really wanted to be a Jew.”

Who wrote that headline? Jews do not use the word “Yahweh”. I never heard the word until I heard Born Again Christians, particularly those who want to convert Jews say the word. (I’m older, atheist Jew who grew up Orthodox Jew.) The word does not appear in the Ha’aretz News Service article; I followed the link.

Unfortunately, Jesus would have died in Auschwitz if he was around then; so noone wants to turn to him anymore, apparanetly.

In the Olden Days the criminals used to find Jesus when they Repented. Apparently there is more power and money now in the Israeli Lobby. It’s enough to make you puke.

The Jews who commented about this on Haaretz didn’t seem tremendously overjoyed by the conversion.

If he beats the rap in The Hague, he can move to Israel and run for PM on the far right of Netanyahu.
