ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author explores the anti-Semitism that has been endemic in Christian culture over the centuries. Wilfred Bion described how in hallucination a part of the self is projected violently out of the personality into an object, which then, as he says, swells up and assumes a bizarre form. He discusses in some of his papers how an entity is expelled into a physical object like a telephone, a table lamp, or a clock in the room. The tyranny of many left-wing and right-wing movements is too familiar to require any elaboration; the same is the case with many religious fundamentalists, both within and outside the Judaeo–Christian–Islamic tradition. Each culture, each religion, each nation has a facet of the truth. It also embedded in mental and emotional attitudes that are false. The central doctrine of Christianity is the belief that Jesus of Nazareth was not just an inspired prophet but was God himself.
