      That’s the polite way of putting it.

      Pretty sure anyone with half a brain and not straight up owned by Putin realizes that surrender is not an option- it just lets them regroup for another push in 5-10 years.

      So. The pope either has the intellectual capacity of a petrified vegetable or is now shilling for Putin.

      On everything. He’s an antiquated old bigot who was an idiot long before he was made the head of the church PR phase. All his platitudes and nice talking points are all manufactured

      With modern society, yeah.

      But no one hates every other Abrhamic religion more than the leader of one them.

      And Islam is the biggest one. Judaism isn’t a threat to replace any form of Christianity, they don’t have the numbers.

      But there’s about the same amount of Christians and Muslims in the world. For about 1300 years Christian leaders have been trying to stop Islam from becoming the majority.

      That’s the most important thing in Abrhamic religions: doing what it takes to be the majority.

      The Bible even says if a family member ever doubts Jesus, you’re to kill them immediately to prevent them from convincing others.

      Which is a throw back to a schizophrenic guy named Abraham killing his family because they doubted the voices Abraham heard in his head.

      All this shit traces back to some random crazy guy that demanded his family do exactly what he says without question. It’s like the one part that never changes

        I’m gonna request citations on these two.

          Wow, I’m usually criticizing people for saying they read the Bible when they clearly didn’t, but this is the most blatantly, absurdly untrue one that I can remember.

            And like, it’s not like there isn’t some weird shit in the Bible, or valid critiques of Abrahamic religions, but did this bro go for any of that? Nah, better to just make stuff up. Which is kinda ironic…

              Indood. You’ll always do a better job of criticizing something if you don’t lie about it.

        Wow. I’m an atheist and even I know that religious leaders tend to be extremely respectful of other faiths. They respect the holding of faith, even if it’s not the one that they personally hold. They’ve spent their lives studying their religion and often find the history and relationships between different faiths fascinating.

        Personally I think they’re just studying myths, and it’s no more productive than somebody studying Milton.
