I highly doubt that Tarzan would care one way or the other about this discussion.
Interesting. I'll come back to this.
I figure if that crowd (the wicked and adulterous generation) could hate and spit on Jesus.
For predicting the Temple in Jerusalem will be destroyed so utterly that not one stone would be
left upon another. And that is exactly what happened in 70A.D.

You're jumbling Biblical quotes and trying to force them into a mold they weren't made to fit. According to the Bible Jesus said "A wicked and adulterous generation seeks a sign", which was a retort to the Pharisees when they demanded he prove himself by performing a supernatural feat. And the Pharisees, though Jews, could more aptly be compared to other religious/political leader wannabes, especially modern leaders of the Religious Right. Jesus never advocated hating any group despite knowing what was to happen.
Second, they didn't hate him and spit on him for predicting the destruction of the Temple. They did so because they were incited by the religious leaders, and they followed what they were told. And they weren't representative of all Jews, just the ones who were there that day. In that respect they were no different than the Germans who followed the Nazis. Not the Nazis themselves, but the otherwise good people who let perverted leaders goad them into acts of hatred.
Now, back to "reconsidering your plight". What exactly do you mean by this? That you're reconsidering whether you're right in your stated beliefs? Or whether you should even be here?
Do you really believe you're stupid, or is that just another arguing point?
As for helping you with "research", if you make a claim it's your job to back it up. In another discussion on another part of this forum, I uncovered evidence in support of the person opposing me. I brought this evidence forward, because I don't lie and I don't cheat. Likewise, if I stumbled on real evidence that supported your claims I would say so, and at least open it up for discussion, if not support it outright. That said, I'm not going to go looking for "facts" that support hatred, not that I believe there are any. So yes, in your quest to destroy anything and anyone you consider inferior or "wrong", you are indeed on your own.

Awe come on SS, I do not write as fast as you guys and therefore I become easily overwhelmed. Causing some frustration.
But I think I can get the hang of this stuff in due time and I will be less
of a drag on the conversations flow. I hope
