Hello! Practicing Christian here! Those people were idiots and you shouldn’t feel bad at all. A lot of the early stuff in the bible is more of a lesson than historical fact (especially genesis) and you didn’t even go there, just pointed out an interesting fact about historical records. And to mistake the star of david for a pentagram is beyond brain dead. I get the feeling these are the type of people you definitely did not want to impress.

as a jew, you really dont wanna befriend xtians like that anyway — if they think other religions are ~of the devil~ they'll absolutely try to convert you. less of a fuckup, more of a dodged bullet imo. (though still don't step on a star of david lol)

Just need to read the room and maybe play neutral sometimes. Getting a weird/bad look after saying what you did the first time isn't bad but read the room and don't double down if you know they're Christian.

It's not even about their religion tbh they could've spoke up but telling you not to step on the star of david definitely makes your phrasing sound like you have a problem with them rather than an interest in the subject.

I wouldn't worry, the fact you brought up faith sounds like the scope of conversation was already poor enough to lead with much else lol
