Right. When I was raised, that was never made clear to me.

I assume it's because Christians don't want to admit that Judaism came first and they built their religion off of it. I certainly thought that they were completely separate for most of my childhood.

I tried reading the Torah (what Christians call the "old testament") and ducked out very early on.

I think it takes a special kind of idiot to read that and believe it's fact.

That's not the quote.

Here it is:

First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."
