If you know you are generalizing, why do you do it regardless, without any manner of support to back up your argument?
I know we've said this to you before, but just to reiterate, it really does the human brain wonders if you research what you want to argue before you actually post.
Research, as in with .edu and .gov extensions. These are the scientific articles which back up their theses with sources and relevant data (hint: they actually have doctors who kinda know what they are talking about).
Don't patronize me, im not stupid, i just have trouble finding things thst arent .com.
I don't like giving examples from too far back in the past, because of varying degrees of moral standards of the times, and because these killings are as much for ecclesiastical as well as political reasons. But there are plenty if you want them. The Jewish community as a whole remains a prominent example. When they were forced to convert to Christianity in Spain for instance, they were still persecuted, and to a certain extent, even more so when they were still Jewish. The Cathars of France too. Early Frankish killings of Germanic and Eastern Slav tribes for refusing conversion. Prussian resistance against the Holy Orders sent to kill them. The Reformation?
Whilst it is easy to deny that the above examples were the result of purely religious reasons, and that they were done as such religious difference coincided with more earthly concerns and divides, it is equally valid to list them as factors that stirred conflict. Fear of other religion tends to breed mistrust, which when sparked, will lead to violence.
There was a website, not sure if it was a .gov or .edu, but it seemed legit, and it talked about something i tried explaining before, but now i cant find it. But it stated that in the bible, during the babylonian captivity, Samaritans moved into the holy land, and when the jews returned, they mixed. Those who mixed were looked down upon. They called them children of the devil. These are the jews we know today. Christ even said they were the children of the devil, look up John 8-44 i believe. And these examples you're giving are strictly through migration/war. It's not domestic, like the French Revolution.
No every GOOD catholic(is a dead one jk) is one that's saying how great their religion is but being modest and humble about it.
I agree, but he's not defending his faith, he's attacking it, and saying it wont last.
I don't know where but yeah, he takes it very seriously.
XD thats actually pretty neat.
Ahem... so you allow slavery, rape for 50 bucks to the girls father and never divorcing her or do you follow the cherry pickers bible?(note in bible or check out jacylnglenn's channel for info).They probally did a survey so they just asked people not the church.
I had to get this out of my system.
You don't think I've heard everything from like the biggest atheist in the world yet? Slavery? Well, up till the civil war, everybody allowed slavery, the church doesn't now, as well as the state, so stop making irrelevant statements. I dont know what rape you're referring to, cuz i know 'bucks' weren't around in the bible, so if it's a present day event, please explain. And I don't know why you had to get THAT out of ur system so badly XD
Actually Christians have a rich history of using force to convert the masses. I believe the Crusades had many such examples..will have to find sources for this.
You guys never stop missing the point. The crusades was a war to take back what was theirs. It wasn't murdering people in you own society because they didnt believe what u did.
Dark ages such well either death or be COMPLETE JERKS to every non catholic.
Trying to convert them when they have the upper hand? let me ask you a question. If you had a group of people, and they were all saying that 1 + 1 = 3, would you try to correct them to believe what EVERYBODY else believes?
Is it somehow demonizing to be realistic that maybe a population of religious people is decreasing over time?
Christianity (Protestants and Catholics) is bigger than Catholicism (Traditional and New Order) which is much bigger than mine which is only Traditional. There are only 3 places I can go to mass in my state.
Exactly. Whatever future civilization that replaces us will most likely have their own religion to replace ours, just as we have done to the people before us.
Maybe, if they come from outer space, which doesn't exist. XD jkjk
Why I believe isn't the question. The question is will future civilizations believe it, and I doubt it. I am religious, sure, but I'm also realistic and anyone with knowledge of history would have to agree.
The same thing that kept them believing for the past 2000 years.
