    I’m far too tired to read the article, but Christians disliking other Christians and thinking that other Christians aren’t real Christians is totally on point.

    Naively I think this fits, but just based on the title.

      We have hundreds of years of religious wars in Europe that proves it’s an old Christian tradition.

          Yeah. It was a general lie that the founding fathers weren’t faithful Christians. Outside of autistic Thomas Jefferson, they still seemed to have some form of Christian beliefs. The issue was that each state had its own form Christianity, including state churches, and realized that the federal entity could not be religious as it could cause a major schism in the new Republic.

          Also, the Bill of Rights was written with the intent to only bind the Federal Government. It was absolutely intended that individual states could regulate religion and that choice was to be made at the state level.

        And there is this old commandment that is like to be ignored.

        Thou shalt not kill. *

        • There is no asterisk, but all religions that have that commandment act like there is.
