Isn't it an interesting 'coincidence' that the betrayer of the xtian godboy had a name that indicted the whole Jewish people?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

That"s more important than controlling the world
In fact, there's a notion that God invented whiskey for the sole purpose of
preventing the Irish from taking over the world.

No, but for a while there were "Irish Need Not Apply" signs in New York. Feel any better?

Asimov noted during various medieval plagues and epidemics it was common to blame the Jews for poisoning the town well, or contaminating the food, DESPITE the Jews falling prey to the same malady themselves.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Basically it's blaming the victim. The Jewish banker stereotype has a grain of truth to it due to Medieval Christian laws prohibiting Christians from lending money while prohibiting Jews from a wide variety of other professions.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
