    What nonsense take is this?

    I am not religious. However it was Christians under the believe of their god that went on a quest to outlaw and ban slavery world wide, fighting wars and spending a significant budget doing so.

    Americans and their american view of the world, the rest of us didnt exist pre 1776.

    By some coincidence God’s wishes always perfectly align with the ruling class. According to what churchgoers are told, at least.

        Your mistake was actually reading the bible.

        You’re not supposed to read it, you’re supposed to let other people cherry-pick passages for you, which you can then selectively observe while conveniently ignoring all the incongruent parts.

        Ya silly.

        Replying to a comment about how religious people should be sent to another planet

        If someone, on a post about an immigrant murdering another person, with the title and body text saying that immigrants should be sent to another planet, complains about the group of people that have said similar things, would you agree with the reply “Wow, super weird that the post about how murder is wrong set you off this hard…”?

        How many of your fellow edgelords care about the fact that the US’s precious Constitution literally enshrines slavery in it’s 13th amendment, hmm? I don’t seem them doing their characteristic edgelord wanking about that…

          following the precepts of Christ, Muhammed and Buddha when they perpetrated colonialist slaughter all over eastern Europe and Russia.

          You might also want to actually read these books, because all three of them explicitly condone genocide.

          Edit: Missed Buddha, I was referring to the three Abrahamic religions.

          Not sure why you brought up Buddha, but Buddhism isn’t exempt. Just look at Myanmar.

            Wikipedia entry on Heinrich Himmler -

            Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, himself a former Roman Catholic, was one of the main promoters of the Gottgläubig faith.[2] He was particularly hostile towards Christianity, its values, the churches, and their clergy.[2] Himmler viewed all of Christianity and the priesthood as nothing but an indecent union, with the majority of its priesthood constituting “an erotic homosexual league of men” whose only purpose was to create and maintain a “twenty-thousand-year-old Bolshevism.”[2] To the Reichsführer-SS Christianity was the greatest plague delivered by history, and he demanded that it be dealt with accordingly.[2] A perennial favorite song of the storm troopers had this refrain: "Storm Trooper Comrades, hang the Jews and put the priests against the wall.

            Hold on… I need to repost this part -

            To the Reichsführer-SS Christianity was the greatest plague delivered by history, and he demanded that it be dealt with accordingly.

            Sounds a lot like some of the hysterical edgelords on here, don’t you think?

            If you’re going to try and use history to prop up your shittakes, edgelord, you shouldn’t be surprised when somebody who knows a whole lot more of it than you show up to accept the challenge.

                  And at what point in that quote did I mention World War I or the Cold War? I didn’t. Not to mention the fact that the figure I gave was sarcasm. I would think the way I said it might give that away, but here we are.

                  I’ll make it simple for you: essentially every major conflict man has ever experienced has been the result of one group deciding that their sky genie is better than another group’s, so that means it’s alright to kill them. Even the ones that preach love and acceptance put a giant fucking asterisk on it. Buddhism is the only real exception, and that’s because it’s not even a religion in the same way the others are.

                  Christians? Ongoing conflicts in the middle east, with the dumbest and most evil amongst them calling it a “holy war”.

                  Catholics? A history of pedophilia, rape and murder stretching from the crusades all the way up until now.

                  Muslims? Same shit different name.

                  And yes, it’s obviously not all INSERT RELIGIOUS GROUP HERE, but that doesn’t change the fact that hatred and othering of those who don’t agree is a core tenet of all major religions.
