    Listen, I get it… I’m just getting tired of the straw man memes in this sub. Yes the KKK uses a religious shield, but it’s projected onto a framework that isn’t inherently racist. As someone who was raised Christian there’s plenty of legitimate fodder to aim at.

    For instance god laying a plan and designing a universe where most beings who ever exist will be tortured in a lake of fire for eternity, and that’s not all. There’s some very low hanging fruit that no one seems to be grabbing.

      Oh come on, its not a strawman, this is the MO of christianity as a whole throughout history. Christianity has always been used as the basis to justify hatred and cruelty. I mean thats the entire reason the bible is so vague in its wording, so it can be interpreted any way the community/cult/church leaders say it should be. People claiming their morality is based on their religion, just mean that they’re told on a regular basis by some other sick fuck what their morals are supposed to be for that week.

      Doesn’t the old testament encourage you to take slaves from the other nations and beat them until they’re nearly dead, but ‘mercifully’ not actually kill them?

      The Torah (first 5 books of the bible) is arguably the most supremacist collection of writings ever. All 3 of the abrahamic faiths affirm the rabbinical text. Catholics and some other sects of Christianity falsely interpret themselves as the new Jews (chosen above all others by hashem). People of every race/creed have been indoctrinated with these archaic ideas and have been using them as justification to commit horrible atrocities for over 1800 years.
