The Rabbinic Jew is a very strange being.
I've heard a rabbi in a debate with an Orthodox priest say that it's not forbidden for them to read the Gospel, but that he got a special permission from his rabbi to read it.

>The highest state of love of creatures should be allotted to the love of mankind, and it must extend to all of mankind, despite all varia-tions of religions, opinions, and faiths, and despite all distinctions of race and climate. It is right to get to the bottom of the views of dif-ferent peoples and groups, to learn, as much as possible, their char-acters and qualities, in order to know how to base love of humanity on foundations that approach action. For only upon a soul rich in love for creatures and love of man can the love of the nation raise itself up in its full nobility and spiritual and natural greatness. The narrowness that causes one to see whatever is outside the border of the special nation, even outside the border of Israel, as ugly and de-filed, is a terrible darkness that brings general destruction upon all building of spiritual good, for the light of which every refined soul hopes.
