Foxy: I can't argue with your logic. Bigotry is about being certain of
something you know nothing about. Enjoy your evening.

There is no Bigotry in truth. There is not one thing from 60000 years ago to 1776 that I could use in this Modern World.

It's the very reason the Chinese, Indonesians, Dutch or Portuguese wanted anything to do with Australia. Even the British only saw it as a dumping ground for Criminals because they lost the Americas.

Foxy,
there's a fundamental difference between culture & mere existence !

I see Davidf is on his usual rant, all his examples are of a National State Church - The Roman Catholic Church. It was they and their tributaries that tortured dissidents. The true followers of Christ had no part of the Roman Church and were equally tortured. They were an underground movement that influenced the reformation,

Dear Josephus,

You pick a scapegoat for your foul faith. You blame the Catholics. Nazi Germany was predominantly Protestant. Unfortunately, most Christians, both Protestant and Catholic, supported the Nazis. There were few Christians who opposed the Nazis. Among the few were Dietrich Bonheoffer, a Protestant, and Franz Jägerstätter, a Catholic. Colonial British North America had one Catholic colony, Maryland. Under Catholic rule there was freedom of religion. When Maryland became Protestant, Catholics were denied the vote. The evil in Christianity is endemic, neither Protestant nor Catholic. In my previous posts I mentioned some of the crimes of Christianity. Servetus was burned at the stake in Protestant Geneva. Luther, the founder of Protestant Lutheranism, made diatribes against the Jews which were printed verbatim in the Nazi newspapers. Jesus said in Matthew 7:3 3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?"

Listen to Jesus. Accept the responsibility for the crimes committed by your own religion. It has some good in it, but don’t excuse the evil by blaming Catholics.

Dear Josephus,

No Christian of any denomination is a true follower of Christ as he was not a Christian. He lived as a Jew and died as a Jew. If you want to be a true follower of Christ go to a rabbi and take steps to accept Christ's religion.

The Romans seen themselves as an advanced and cultured people, yet when the Barbarians conquered Rome they were shocked by many of the Roman practices taking place in the coliseum. Are we like the Romans?
