Quoted By:
"Christianity had a directive to remove barriers between ethnicities while paganism was synonymous with ethnic identity."
"Pagans have only the fragile and ultimately futile effort to preserve their physical continuity through blood and soil. Their hope for immortality takes the form of a perpetual fight for physical existence, which one day they must lose."
"In pagan society, where God remains unrevealed, the individual exists only as an organ of the collective of state or race. The pagan’s sense of immortality therefore depends solely on the perpetuation of his race, and his most sacred act is to sacrifice himself in war to postpone the inevitable day when his race will go down in defeat."
-Rabbi Franz Rosenzweig, 'The Star of Redemption.' Founder of the 'House of Jewish learning' in Frankfurt. One of the most influential Jewish thinkers of the modern period
