They have no idea that Christianity was militant until WW2. European history is 2000 years of Christians slaughtering other Christians and non-Christians.
This thing called "Christianity" has track record of covering up their depravity with the perversion of truth, logic, ethics and human rights, making an abomination of them. Religion seems to be a cancer for any society that aspires to be a liberal democracy.
Interesting history compilation. I am a Christian, but your history lesson is exactly WHY church and state need to remain separate. It’s why the “Founders” didn’t want a state church. Hundreds of years of war over who was worshipping God correctly! I stood on a tower in France that over a thousand Huguenots were thrown to their deaths because they denied that a priest had to talk to God for them. I have had a Near Death Experience and seen Heaven. There is a life after this one - but I just felt love and acceptance. There is no hate. There is no “forced religion”. What the “Christian Nationals” propose is wrong. People who commit horrendous acts in the name of “their” faith are following false prophets and false teachers. Render onto Caesar what is Caesar’s and onto God what is God’s. Your faith is between you and God. Keep the “state” out of it.
I saw nothing. I didn't know I was dead yet. They saved me before I left my body apparently. My heart stopped after surgery. ...during the wake up drug injection. It about killed me. I totally know there's a heaven. I've done my homework. It's all love there. Hell is supposed to be below heaven...on the way out back to Earth the soul may see it...like a flyover drone looking down on the river of Fire & people screaming at you. That's one afterlife experience I studied. Interesting. Not all witness that wretched place apparently. Some go there into hell and are put back in their broken bodies to come back to life ..it's not their time yet. Because knowledge is IT...love & knowledge is why we are here, life after life...
So many lives we live... It's unbelievable more of us don't remember more of our previous lives. That's the part that's confusing..why do some remember things while others don't?? Anyhoo, interesting topic. I'm into it and I understand it's real... heaven 😍💝 God knows. 😂
THANK YOU. I get agitated when people use the term Christo-facist because it is redundant. Just say Christian. The church and state realized they had more control over the population together when Charlemagne became The Holy Roman Emperor, and the very basis of Christianity depends on spreading the gospel, i.e. conversion, and often that means forced conversion. These pedophilic men are now the driving force, and money, behind the assault on reproductive rights in this country. Down with the lot of them.
What's Christian about the Republicans that claim they're Christian and want to turn the USA into a ‘Christian’ nation? The separation of state and church is a really important principle that the ‘founding fathers’ had the wisdom and foresight to recognize. There's so much evil done in the name of religion, so many conflicts purely about who's got the ‘right’ way of practising. It's such utter BS, we may just as well start fighting over who has the right favourite colou:. mine's blue: death to the reds, greens, yellows, purples, oranges, lilacs, turquoises, pinks, greys (they're the worst), violets, browns, limes, beiges, cyans (don't get me started! Pretending they're one of us), magentas, cerises, indigos, teals…! But let's be clear, it's actually ultramarine, so first we need to get rid of the navy blues, sky blues, azures, lapis lazulis, cyans, ceruleans, royals…
People forget that Martin Luther was a vicious anti-Semite.
Virtually every piece of Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda was recycled material. The only thing that was new was linking it to Communism, and even that was not original, as it had been done almost as soon as Bolshevism got organized.
I’m also left-handed with Rh negative blood, born with blue-green eyes. Thus, I do not belong on this earth except as an outlier. I would suggest we outliers need to stick together but, as I said outlier so not many of us. I forgot to mention, atheist so life in danger. Oh well, or is that Orwell?
It was a family feud. The worst kind, when one side of the family turns against the other side. Sure, they were all „Christians“ to outsiders, but each group saw itself as „the true Christians“ and the other side as „Godless Heretics!!!1!11!“. It works that way with most religions. Same as the Sunnis and Shiites, or the Mormons and the Shakers. The goal is the eradication of the Enemy, or a very hostile coexistence until the time arrives to finish the job.
I too am an rh-negative left-handed atheist. I have brown eyes, however. Hopefully that doesn’t disqualify me from the outliers club (just kidding; exclusion being the point of religion).
Many good examples of how christians have misinterpreted, failed to follow, or bent Jesus' life and message for their own selfish gain. These MAGA christians are more like the Pharisees than they are like Jesus. "Christian" means little christ... if they all copied Jesus, then they would be a different lot.
Being told as a child that I was to spend eternity with all these old people singing hymns in Catholic Church instead of playing with my friends settled it for me. No way was I signing up for that! 😀
George Carlin put it well: there used to be an invisible man that knows everything about you and he has these 10 rules that if you violate yo will burn in agony for eternity,
But he loves you and needs your money.
He is all powerful and all knowing but just cannot seem to handle money.
There were about 3000 or so gods that have been found among human societies. Most don’t believe in 2999 of them. Add one more and live free!
I appreciate the detailed history that you give here...I guess the Crusaders can at least say, " Well, at least we weren't slaughtering other Christians!"🤯😜
I don't know enough history to be certain, but my impression was that the Crusades were mostly aimed at followers of Mohammed, the Muslims.
You are quite correct. They were actually about reconquering Jerusalem (which had been conquered by the Muslims). I think they weren't really specifically aimed at Islam, just that the Muslims were the people who happened to have conquered Jerusalem. If it had been the followers of another faith the crusaders would have been aimed at them (and history would have been very different: eg no Isis?). The most famous & successful of the Muslim leaders was Saladin, during the third crusade.

More pisful than peaceful
Religion is only good
To enable predators
Subdue the masses
Enrich a few
Impoverish the many
Help people cope with their
mortality
Wage wars

BINGO ✔️💯!!! I died once myself.
I saw nothing. I didn't know I was dead yet. They saved me before I left my body apparently. My heart stopped after surgery. ...during the wake up drug injection. It about killed me.

Oh, those fun loving Nazis! What a way to celebrate Christian love than with a good old fashioned slaughter.
So... what was christian about them?

Exactly zilch

Virtually every piece of Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda was recycled material. The only thing that was new was linking it to Communism, and even that was not original, as it had been done almost as soon as Bolshevism got organized.
Religion, racism, resources and revenge are the favorite tools of demagogues.
Yeah, they think they are GOAT Christians. They are more like demons.

Didn’t the 30 years war result in the killing, slaughter, of approximately 1/3 of Europeans? Such a wonderful history to demonstrate god’s love.

Or it means christ-like (same)

What are the lyrics to that Billy Joel song? "I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints." Only the good die young.
You, me too.

Except in 1204 c.e. when on the way to the 4th Crusade, the participants sacked Constantinople, massacring the population.
Did I mention the entire population of Constantinople was orthodox Christians?
They are so insecure and just have to project
They learn from
The trumpette
Proof they are not peaceful but pissful
What one calls themselves and what they really are, are not one and the same.
I think religion is a good cover for sadists. It helps justify all the torture.
