    Someone conveniently ignoring the Crusades. Nearly 200 years of exactly that in the name of Christianity, fully supported and encouraged by the clergy.

      Yeah, white people like to pretend that christianity is supposed to be only sunshine and happiness, and the more extreme a christian is, the more forgiving and loving they are.

      In reality, christianity isn’t just the good parts of the new testament, some of it clearly instructs people to still follow the laws of the old one, others glorify the human suffering. Speaking of the old testament, its god is still the most unpleasant and most cartoonishly evil character in all of fiction.

      Eh, Christianity was closer to a government than a religion back then. Most of the followers probably couldn’t explain Christianity to you either since the mass was in Latin and few could actually read the Bible.

        I mean, Trump thinks of everything as a business. He’s terrible at them, but that’s the lens he views everything through. And he obviously tries to run the government as a business as well.
