For the first 300 years Christianity spread peacefully and Christians were often the victims of persecutions. Any violence commited was done in self defense. Again, I was saying that in 67 AD, 37 years after the death of Christ, there were already many Christians in Rome so it spread at an extremely fast rate for a religion that spread peacefully.
Smith and Mo were quicker, NEXT!
The repression of the Manichaean and Gnostic heretics happened after Theodosius I though legal legitimate means became the Roman Empire and declared Nicene Christianity(true Christianity) the official religion of the Roman Empire. Their repression was done for the greater good of the Empire because it helped the Empire maintain unity under one religion. Besides, the Gnostics were a fucked up cult that believed in rejecting the material world.
Special pleading bullshit coming from a fucked up cultist who rejects his perfectly normal sex drive, NEXT.
According to wikipedia, Hypatia was not killed for being smart, she was killed because she was an advisor to Orestes, the Roman prefect of Alexandria and rumors were spreading that she was preventing Orestes from reconciling with Cyril the Bishop of Alexandria who Orestes was in a feud with. It was a political conflict. In fact the article also says this about her showing that Christians later respected her.
“During the Middle Ages, Hypatia was co-opted as a symbol of Christian virtue and scholars believe she was part of the basis for the legend of Saint Catherine of Alexandria.”
More post-facto, special pleading bullshit and "respecting" someone after you've whacked them and erased their history, aint...NEXT!
As for the spread of Christianity throughout the colonies, the natives who had uncivilized primitive cultures were forced to convert to Christianity, but that was done for the greater good of bringing civilization to them. It was mostly not genocidal, because the majority of Latino’s have both Hispanic and native ancestry. Yes many died of small pox, but that is not genocide because genocide is intentionally trying to kill a group while people did not know about the science of small pox back then. And the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs was totally justified because the Aztecs performed human sacrifice.
Then what's your problem with Islam Caphilates invading pagan empires? Special pleading BS, NEXT!
I don’t think that Columbus was personally responsible for the atrocities commited by some Spanish. I hate how cultural marxists are trying to rename Columbus Day, “indigenous people’s day.” Nevertheless, the English colonists, and later the Americans never commited the excesses that those from other European countries commited.
What you believe is irrelevant, what happened on his watch is. NEXT!
As for the Crusades, that was done in retaliation for the Muslim conquests of Christian lands, atrocities, and persecution committed against the Christians. Yeah there were excesses but then there was also the brave valiant hero Richard the Lionheart. The English were never responsible for the worst of the Roman Catholic Church’s atrocities.
And the repression of the heretical sects was for the greater good because it kept unity in the Empire. I admit that the First crusaders went excessive but the later crusaders such as Richard the Lionheart were heroes fighting to protect the Christians in the Middle East. The English were never responsible for the worst of the crusader’s excesses.
Our war crimes good because reasons, their war crimes justify our war crimes. Horseshit! NEXT!
And your still in denial of Yahweh and Jesus Christ after all the evidence I provided? If you have any logical questions about Yahweh, Jesus, the trinity, and Christianity, I will be glad to provide you answers based on my knowledge. I already addressed the case of Yahweh’s wife, that was promoted during the part of Israel’s history when the Israelites were turning against God and worshipping false gods.
You haven't provided evidence, just the same regurgitated bullshit we're all too familiar with. If you're trying to witness and be a missionary you, by virtue of being a sectarian, homophobic, sexually repressed fuckup is making your product look worse than if you'd said nothing at all! Seriously, you'd be better off just shutting the fuck up if you want people around here to convert to your religion. You repel people!
1. I already debunked the claim that Smith was faster and already explained the difference between the spread of Christianity during it’s earliest decades, and the spread of Islam.
2. How can you challenge my claim that it was done for the greater good of the Empire? Having one religion makes the Empire more stable.
3. I explained the real political reason why she was killed. It was not because she was smarter than them.
4. Ugh. I have a problem with the Muslim caliphates conquering the ADVANCED CIVILILIZED pagan Empires and spreading their backwards barbaric religion to the Middle East. The Christians did not conquer advanced civilized pagan Empires, they conquered European barbarian tribes, New World tribes and the barbaric Aztec Empire.
5. There is no evidence that Columbus ordered for the worst of the atrocities to happen. His great legacy is that he discovered the Americas contributing to bringing European civilization to it. His legacy has been defended by the Knights of Columbus
6. I said that I admit that the knights on the First Crusade commited war crimes, but the later Crusaders such as the Kings crusade were more noble and chivalrous. And as I keep saying, the English were never responsible for the crusader’s excesses.
7. I preach conservative true Christian values, to get you to go to the right denomination and to teach you what things are forbidden by God. I am not homophobic. I do not have an irrational fear of homosexuals. I am teaching that God loves homosexuals but does not want them to have homosexual sex.
