    Yeah, didnt we sacrifice a BUNCH of kids before the Bible and Jesus?

    God basically sent Jesus down to die for our sins and teach us the way we should live, technically, he IS th manual

    And yeah I quite literally tell them on the first date as if showing up in a brown robe wasnt enough

    • 1 Samuel 15:3

      Christianity allowed and enabled and benefited from colonialism, slave trade, countless genocides…

      If you want to protect children go burn some churches.

        that verse is about the amalec, wayyyy before european colonialism

        Its also the old testament which Jesus fulfilled so most of that doesnt apply to us anymore

        Matthew 10:9 Do not possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your purses

        • So, God does command the killing of children, but you dismissed it because it was before God impregnated a married woman.

          And then you dismissed all the children who died and forced into labor with the churches blessings.

          And you end with a completely unrelated quote, yhea, then why is the Catholic Church sitting on countless gold and treasures?

          Christianity is one of the most toxic religions in history. Used to prop up tyrants and control the population. and you absolutely refuse to acknowledge any of that. yet you use that to enforce your closeted views on others.

            please research the Amalec and their deeds “With the churches blessings” sources

            The Vatican is not “sitting on gold” for you, its just Gold but those are theological and ancient artifacts that they have to preserve. According to you, we should melt all the ancient coins from Rome to get silver?

            “in history” not NOW tho, why would I burn a church NOW

            and SOURCES CITE SOURCES

            • Tell me, what deeds did Amalek commit to warrant murdering their children?

              Also, Christianity promoted and benefited from colonialism and slave trade isn’t a debatable topic, it’s settled history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_and_colonialism

              You can be a Christian, as long as you do it without shoving your bullshit ideals down other people’s throats. Whenever I need something shoved down my throat I contact your husband.

                look inside

                “some missionaries” and people that used Christianity to try to justify Colonialism, Christianity was basically the state religion of colonial powers but that doesnt mean all christians were colonizers

                “Colonialism” is a very broad term and there were a bunch of slave trades from 30 AD to 2026 AD, which one did we “benefit” from? The transatlantic or another?

                • If you gotta ask, it means you are intentionally ignoring it.

                  Let me celebrate how Christianity is dying. One of the worse religions in history. It will not be missed.

                  At least old churches make great raves halls for getting laid.

                Deuteronomy 25:18 How he met thee: and slew the hindmost of the army, who sat down, being weary, when thou wast spent with hunger and labour, and he feared not God.
