Holocaust blamed on Christians? Seriously???

> "The action taken by Christians against Jews included acts of violence, and murder culminating in the Holocaust". I really don't care how sourced this statement is, it is patently false. The Holocaust was perpetrated by Hitler on an ideology of eugenics, and had NOTHING to do with Christians wanting to murder Jews. Murder is fundamentally against Christian beliefs and Christ's teaching of loving others. I think most Christians consider Hitler one of the most (if not the most) evil men who ever lived, and do not share his ideologies whatsoever. Who even approved this edit??? This is supposed to be a protected page! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.65.126.190 (talk) 05:53, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It may surprise you to learn that there are and always have been bad Christians, that is to say, Christians who may overlook murder and other sins when it suits their purposes. At any rate, please read WP:TRUTH; Wikipedia is about verifiable information based on reliable sources, nothing else. clpo13_(talk) 07:24, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Judaism on Education

Could we include the role of Jewish organizations in Judaism? Orthodox Union, Aish HaTorah, Chabad and Rohr JLI?

Overall Article: Editorial Help

This article feels extremely muddled, verbose, arcane, and just a plain hodgepodge for a first time reader. Seriously I am getting a headache by reading it- it seems like a collection of random pet contributions that grew until enormously unwieldy over time. I understand that any edit becomes extremely painful and divisive on a Wikipedia article of this importance, but something needs to be done.

Perhaps some of the main editors of this article, who babysit it, so to speak, and contribute often, can get together and start a discussion to find a way to clean this thing up and make it a product of excellence.

I agree, and I will attempt to improve it Humanjf (talk) 01:03, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

List of founders of religious traditions‎‎

Those interested in joining a discussion whether to add Judaism (Founder: Israelites) to this list, please see Talk:List_of_founders_of_religious_traditions#Abraham_is_only_a_myth. Ugog Nizdast (talk) 01:38, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article lacks information on historical scholars' views.

I looked up this article out of curiosity as to what are the most widely accepted views among historians (not theologians or religious practitioners) as to the origins of Judaism. All I see is the faith based, theological, tradition informed views of the origins of Judaism (Abraham's covenant, etc).

There is precious little of any information regarding the views of objective academic scholars and historians as to the origins of Judaism.

As such it's really not a particularly informative or encyclopedic article so much as a survey of Jewish theology and traditional beliefs.

User "Dweller" unilaterally deleted my comment and should be disciplined for doing so. CannotFindAName (talk) 23:36, 21 August 2016 (UTC) CannotFindAName (talk) 23:35, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
