    It’s kind of true. Look the deportations, they are getting mostly people from Christian countries like Mexico for instance. There is an attack on a Christians it seems

    oh. sure sure. of course. and their most perfect adherents like donald trump have suffered the biggest witch hunts in all of history. So sick of all those other religions doing the witch hunts on the good christian men whose virtue is beyond reproach no matter how many times they went to pedo peninsula or just straight out talked about it during interviews in their life. epstein files. epstein files.

      I thought Mormons get their own planet, but other xtians don’t consider LDS “real” xtians, LOL, so there is that.

        The issue is that Mormons and other Christians seem to have differing views on who counts as a Christian. Most Christian sects use the Nicene Creed, which includes the basic set of beliefs all (or almost all, depending on your view ofc) Christian sects adhere to. Mormonism diverges from the Nicene Creed:

        • they don’t believe in one God (Mormons believe that humans have the capability to become Gods, and that God was mortal at one time and had His own God),
        • they don’t believe that God made the universe (they simply believe that He organized it),
        • and they don’t believe that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are one substance (they believe that They are three distinct beings).

        Mormonism, on the other hand, seems to believe that Christianity is simply accepting Jesus as a prophet sent by God and the Bible as holy scripture…but by that logic Muslims would also be considered Christians.

      Only some Christians. I don’t recall the Quakers ever having persecuted anyone. And the various Anabaptist spin-offs don’t persecute anyone but themselves.

      It’s the ones with power that get up to evil shit.

      Christian’s believe that the only good Christian is a persecuted one. So they create chaos to be persecuted. This mental gymnastics hurts my back.

        No, they think not being on a pedestal and having their unwarranted privileges slowly peeled away means they are “persecuted”.

        They also think it’s “persecution” when they cannot brainwash other people’s children while in captivity at public schools.

            Very true - I know some xtians just about lose their minds when a “world religions” class is discussed, or talking about “the” bible as literature.

            The notion that their chosen lifestyle were to be put on equal footing to other mythologies in an educational setting is just mind-boggling to them and absolutely enrages many of them.

            xtians: “We want religion back in the public schools!”

            normal Americans: “How about we teach kids about xtianity in the context of other religions? And have “the” bible included as part of Western literature?”

            xtians: “NOOOOOOO! NOT LIKE THAT!”

          They also think it’s persecution when other people aren’t forced to follow their religion, like when gay marriage is allowed

            100% this. They simply cannot comprehend that in a secular nation, their rules are for THEM and not for anyone else that isn’t in their little book club.

            But they don’t want the country to remain secular - they want to “fundamentally change America” (remember when the scary Blah man said that and how terrified they all were - more projection) so that the rules of their little book club are imposed on everyone else.

        It is a very common thing about them. More and more people can see it. If a regressive accuses someone of doing something. Its a sure bet they are doing or planning to do that something to others.

      My days off are Saturn-day and Sun-day. Like all the other days of the week in English, those names have a pre-Christian origin.

    Where was she in 2017 when white supremacists firebombed that mosque in Minneapolis? How about it being legal to forbid Jews from enrolling at medical schools in Minnesota until the 1950s?

    How many religions and cultures has 'christ’ianity wiped out again?

    I’d tell them to get fucked, but they already probably have been, nonconsenually, by one of their religious ‘leaders’.
