Yes, there were some missionaries in Cali who abused the natives during their settlement conflict with the other powers in the Pacific. Also, you have heard about the Canadian 'residential' schools, correct; those got their start to 'convert' the natives into 'proper Christian civilization'...

This was not done by some anonymous group, Pizzaro's actions are well documented, as are the religious aspect. Just one of the more famous examples. The lack of child brides, pork restrictions, and 'it's ok to lie to infidels' in Christianity do set the religions apart ideologically, however...

I see the actions against Native Americans, Norse, and other 'pagan/heathen' groups in the New World and other places under guise of 'converting them' doesn't really seem to actually factor into your thinking on why people have problems with Christianity. What Christianity did in the New World...

I think Deism is likely to be on the rise, but organized religion...is still just another bureaucracy that takes itself to seriously. The divine cannot be confined to any one faith or creed, nor can morality. Frankly, Christianity has done some pretty shameful things in the name of 'convert or...

The distinction is still that you view foreign intel agents operating against your own nation as less of a threat than wokeness, if you truly meant what you said.

Which Eastern Orthodox church, because there are multiple different strains, and some of them have...less than benign (coughforeignintelagencycoverscough) reasons for opposing wokeness.

You said I lack understanding of what it is to take religious dogma 'seriously', and seemed to have acted like you thought I was just some atheist when I said what I did. I was showing why I do not take any creed or dogma as the 'truth' or 'only path', despite believing in the divine, and thus...

See, I'm a deist because I do believe there is something divine out there, something greater than this, but I do not think I know the full nature of it, or that is a single path. The Christian Bible is rather good as a semi-historical ext, and the Old Testament...well, it's a fanciful, long...

Taking Revelations seriously has tainted parts of Christianity with a doomsday cult atmosphere, and is part of what turns so many people off to the less culty/apocalypse desiring parts of the Christian faith.

If Christians do not seek allies and friends outside their own faith, they will find it much harder to fight the madness of progressives. In fact, not even trying more interfaith events and cooperation in the face of progressives is part of why the religious right (aka mostly the Christian...

I'd recommend that Christians probably start also doing more interfaith events; lots of other religions out there have the same target on their back when it comes to trannies, and may be able to give a heads up if something fucky might be about to happen.
