as a devout Christian, even

I ended up agreeing with most of what he implies

Alan Watts and Mark Passio.... I mean, c'mon lol

Thank you Phobia, you are so lit m8

statists have made great efforts to demonize everything that doesn't align with their goals

True

chief among those things is religion detached from politics

Don't tell Theocrats this REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Islam and Judaism are incredibly nationalistic, but Christianity is not

Press X to doubt

Christian Empires West and Roman Empires

Catholic*

Byzantine was not Catholic

Orthodox

Catholic and some branches of Orthodoxy as well as many other branches contradict what Christ was about as a means to usurp political power

oh my bad, lol, I confused the names of different groups of people manipulating the population with religion

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_nationalism

They were called the "Corporate Church" for centuries for a reason.

Iron Guard of Romania

you can use all the word combinations you want

it's not Christianity

they're all bastardizations

link Wikipedia until you're blue in the face

again,

Anyone who unironically uses "Not an argument" should be fed to the Lions

Thats it you made me do it

"Obey your Earthly Masters"

You've posted a bunch of examples where government has mandated some bastardized form of Christianity

and exactly zero valid argument that suggests* Christianity is to blame and not the state's manipulation

“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

This idea that God would, for some reason, reject intervention of free will, whilst also supporting one human's right to subvert another human's free will

is, quite literally, pants-on-head retarded

Matthew 10:34

Luke 12:47 — “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows.”

John 15:6 — “If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.”

The first is a reference to *not a literal sword*

the second is.... factual?
