    To be fair a casual understanding of history shows they’re practicing Christianity as it always has been

      They have always disgraced the name of Jesus. Taken it in vain, some might say.

      Yeah, hard no there. Christianity in Europe is much more liberal, and I don’t just the mean the traditionally more liberal protestants

        …you realize Christianity has existed in Europe for more than 50 years, right? Some of the most horrific things ever done to other people have been done in Europe in the name of Christianity.

          Absolutely true, yet only looking at the crusades and the medieval times disregards that modern European Christianity is a far cry from what the American Christians are preaching.

            If you ignore 1000+ years of Christianity in Europe then Christianity in Europe is pretty great!

            American Christianity is far more “liberal” than how it has been practiced in Europe for nearly it’s entire existence. That’s my point.

              Sorry to butt in, but I think we already got his point.

              And I hope that you got his point that, in the last 20 years (maybe more), the claws of european christianity is better clipped than the claws of american christianity (which is growing sharper and sharper)

              Again, I get that, a few centuries ago (crusades), christianity in europe had claws as sharp as a razor. but it got clipped, it grow again, got clipped, grow again (under fascism and nazism, which used the bible to persecute jews, homossexuals, black people and way more).

              And nowadays, it got clipped again and that claw has less grip than the claw on USA.

               

              The true questions are:

              Will that claw in Europe grow sharp again following suit of american’s claws or can they keep clipping that thing to not harm anyone?

              And will american christianity’s claws get clipped before it is too late or will they let it grow sharp as a razor and behead the heads of innocents?

              These are the questions that need to be pondered.
