The real Christians got persecuted and crucified two thousand years ago, for saying "be kind to one another". The Christians we know today, their antescendents converted when some dude in power said they were now Christian. They didn't become different people.
Evangelists use The Bible as a shield and scripture as a weapon. I like to think actual Christians aren't these people.
Actual Christians will be being persecuted by these people. Whether in the US or overseas.
Of course because they're not strong enough to fight for their beliefs or some other bullshit. I've had someone unironically say Jesus was too soft. They've lost the plot.
I say that, but, also, not a Christian.
Jesus should have smited the Romans so hard the Etruscans got resurrected, cmv.
Kinda defeats the entire point of Christianity being about mercy to the sinful if none is shown.
Oh noooo my religion has embraced militant anti-imperialism oh nooooo
Oh nooo my religion that preaches pacifism in the face of literal crucifixion has become militant and I've lost the fucking plot oh nooooo
If there's one thing imperialists can't deal with it's their slaves forgiving them and refusing to fight back.
No you're right, a good cause to rally behind are the ones who do murder not at as good at first and eventually do it better. Definitely not cyclic logic.
Yes yes defending yourself or others is the same thing as murder, very wise very meek.
If you defending yourself is killing someone else before they have the chance to try, yes, that's murder. Probably a commandment about that somewhere.
Don't know much about the Romans, do you?
Don't know much about the teachings of Christ, do you?
I do, I just said he's wrong. That was kind of the whole point...
