That is not Christianity doing that. That is Donald Trump doing that. Donald Trump is not a Christian.

Liberals do not "like" Islam. Liberals believe in religious freedom, no matter what your beliefs. Liberals are not against "anything traditionally for whites." In fact, we believe that all races, traditions, ethnicity should share in the blessings of our society. Liberalism is not against whites, it is for EVERYONE. Your racial supremacy is showing.

White men will eventually be dragged, kicking and screaming, into the reality that the world is changing. Your desire to always be the top dog, and in control of everyone else, is outdated. White supremacy will eventually be drown out by demographics, and as far as I am concerned, good riddance. Humanity are all one family, and regarded as equals by God.

Yep. To name a few. Also, "Christianity" encouraged me to hide the fact that I was raped, rather than speak about it and include it in my "testimony" because if any of the single men in the church found out, they wouldn't want to marry me.

Default I don't think Christiantiy would have tried to limit itself in the World

I don't think so. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of...nment#Religion


"Religion[edit]

"Enlightenment era religious commentary was a response to the preceding century of religious conflict in Europe, especially the Thirty Years' War.[61] Theologians of the Enlightenment wanted to reform their faith to its generally non-confrontational roots and to limit the capacity for religious controversy to spill over into politics and warfare while still maintaining a true faith in God. For moderate Christians, this meant a return to simple Scripture. John Locke abandoned the corpus of theological commentary in favor of an "unprejudiced examination" of the Word of God alone. He determined the essence of Christianity to be a belief in Christ the redeemer and recommended avoiding more detailed debate.[62] In the Jefferson Bible, Thomas Jefferson went further and dropped any passages dealing with miracles, visitations of angels and the resurrection of Jesus after his death, as he tried to extract the practical Christian moral code of the New Testament.[63]


"Enlightenment scholars sought to curtail the political power of organized religion and thereby prevent another age of intolerant religious war.[64] Spinoza determined to remove politics from contemporary and historical theology (e.g., disregarding Judaic law).[65] Moses Mendelssohn advised affording no political weight to any organized religion, but instead recommended that each person follow what they found most convincing.[66] They believed a good religion based in instinctive morals and a belief in God should not theoretically need force to maintain order in its believers, and both Mendelssohn and Spinoza judged religion on its moral fruits, not the logic of its theology.[67]"

(My emphasis - more @ the URL)

Possibly abolition, but not the Enlightenment (which seemed to be about limiting the political impact of religion, from what I see.)

Why do you want to Latin Americanize America and Europe? You liberals are for no one. You just want power and want to overtax and overregulate literally everything.

Now there's an interesting question. How many world religions originated in Europe?

That was mankind. Mankind is flawed in every way. That was not in the name of Jesus even though some Christians will use Christianity for their own flawed agenda just as humans use many things to their agenda including politics and abuse. Christians have a personal relationship with their maker. They don't define ALL human interaction on the bases of Christianity. If we did, none of us would have any hope or promise that is found in his word.

European people have their own take on the Christian religion, Protestantism and Catholicism basically originated in Europe. Technically even Jesus was under the Roman empire.

Not Christianity, that's for sure.

Jesus was a middle eastern Jew. Not a white European.
