So, anyway, I understand where OP is coming from. I can't imagine Catholics would like it if Jews decided to start celebrating mass but did it completely differently from centuries of tradition, and claimed it was still somehow authentic.[/quote]

+1. Jews don't really have the concept of sacrilege, but if we did, that's close to the feeling evoked by Christians trying to understand more about their god by practicing our traditions.  Traditions which don't exactly have a history of being accepted by Christians.[/quote]

On the contrary, Christians understand that Jesus was Jewish. Jewish traditions were very much a part of Jesus' life, and the Last Supper was a seder. This isn't a new appropriation of the tradition, instead it's something that's been recognized for 2000 years as being integral to the Last Supper.[/quote]

So the seder-throwing christians are having historically accurate ones? Similar to how some go to Jerusalem and carry a cross along his route? Or are they going to modern seders and having brisket? which bears no similarity to what Jesus did?

I hope for the Christians' sakes that you are going to seders held by knowledgeable Jewish people who can make you appreciate the KEY DIFFERENCE between Judaism as Jesus practiced it and Judaism now: the destruction of the temple. The Judaism that Jesus practiced is not similar to modern Judaism OR modern Christianity, but for different reasons. [/quote]

So now you're arguing that Christian seders can't possibly resemble modern Jewish seders. In which case: WHERE IS THE PROBLEM??

Honestly, your arguments have devolved into a "gotcha game" to the point where you sacrifice logic to the cause of stoking your injured outrage. Couple this with your feigned obtuseness about the historical origins of the Last Supper. I agree with the several posters who have said that you need to stop and consider how all this reflects on you and your faith. Most of whom, I'm sure, don't want to represented by the nasty likes of you. Just stop.
