    My brother in Christ, history would like a word…

    Ever heard of the crusades? Spanish inquisition?

    America is a tame rendering of violent and evil Christianity. Our grimmest claim would be the witch hunts, which we share with a lot of Europe.

      Christian’s that descended from Roman Christianity/original group of patriarchs. Coptic, Ethiopian, and Indian sects are very much non violent and forgiveness. Within the community things may be different, but if you like Augustine of hippo, holy war is a valid concept in your religion

        I’m sorry?

        My religion??

        “My brother in Christ” was being used euphemistically, for comedic effect.

        I believe God === community. I do not ascribe to a religion.
