Don't Christians have the same supremacist attitude in that Christ is the only road to redemtion?

The Jewish supremacist attitude is essentially racist. They believe they are physically, mentally and spiritually superior as an ethnic group. Christianity does not imply the idea that one ethnic group is better than the other but merely that their religion is the only true religion.
Having said that, I also object to Christian intolerance of other religions.

Not all religions are Jewish of origin, but Judaism, Christianity and Islam are. I object to each of them and don't see how either has anything to do with a healthy spiritual attitude towards life. Yet Hinduism, Shintoism, Asatru, Buddhism, Shamanism and other ancient Eurasian religions do provide a healthy spiritual outlook on life and are largely or entirely free from the dangerous fallacies that corrupted Abrahamic religions.

If you like to believe in fairy tales. I prefer not to indulge in the irrational ramblings of an ancient hatemonger but rather stick to the rational philosophy of eg. the Bhagavad-Gita (ancient Hindu scripture), the Eddas (ancient Germanic scripture), the Buddha, Kant, Heidegger, ...

They don't run the world. They merely run North-America and Western-Europe. Although they do have significant power in other parts of the world, they are not powerful enough to actually control those nations.

The truth is cpmpletely alien to even them. Remeber:
It is a messiah that is to set the record straight. Non christians simply believe that this is a false messiah, but that the hopes of the times were great...thus Christians were decieved by their own hearts.
Jews are the Children (family of god), no doubt about it.

I don't understand how anyone can honestly believe that rubbish.

That's because Judaism is not really a religion but rather a way of life. Jews try to life a life they see as most suitable to serve themselves and the Jewish community as a whole. Some believe that way is Chassidic Judaism and live an Orthodox life, whereas others become zionists, communists or liberals. Serving the Jewish people is what Judaism all about... and a significant part of these people don't give a damn about us gentiles as long as their Jewish brethren are fine.... which happens to be the main cause of antisemitism.
