I was horrified at what I read yesterday about purim sacrifice. I can't even prove that it exists. It seems the sites which I found were very similar to the literature from the John Birch Society; pictures, proclamations, and void of traceable sources.
Please someone get these nasty images out of my head, b/c my man is about to celebrate, and I can't live in this house thinking that he celebrates a holiday which has encouraged the drinking of goyim blood.

And yes, there is a difference between your average bear and your fundies, or militants, or whatever.

Anti-semitism has been around for years, amny of the lie were started years ago by the early Christian church, and later by the Roman Church.
many of the very things Hitler used in WWII (jews wearing emblems on their clothes, etc) were all done by the Roman church in the 1200's.
It is a long history.
And similar things have been done to other races and cultures.

I have studied many religions, including Judaism, and the only time I ever heard a word about them drinking blood was from sources that are determinedly anti-Semetic, such as Arab TV shows. There is no truth to it.
If you want to know about Purim, why don't you ask him yourself?
