Right. Whereas when I read about a story like the jews turning on the Gideonites, or ethnically cleansing Caanan, it makes less sense to me. Europeans did invade places but they didn't make excuses to genocide their allies or try to argue they're the holiest people on earth so they deserve it all.
> Yes, it worked like this for 2000 years almost, until the arrival of mass media and jewish control. Christianity was one of the harshest enemies of judaism. Those that rejected the church, bullshit outcasts and degenerates were the first to fraternize with them and go to bat for jewish emancipation!
With respect I don't think that's true. There were a few instances of the church hierarchy turning on the jews, but for the most part it was ordinary people kicking them out. And it's noteworthy that jews weren't a huge widespread problem before christianity, nor did they become widespread outside of christianised regions.
> This is one reason I didn't like going to church. Since then, I've learned that for most of history, christianity WAS often that. Sure, there was jesus and some prophets, but they had the european saints like roman soldier St. Martin, St. Patrick and also the (greek) evangelists! And people had folk heroes, and noblemen and knights, to look up to!
Yes, and I believe some of those saints were genuinely holy men, even if I don't share their beliefs.
Mostly nations run true to character. Europeans produced great philosophy before christianity, so they kept doing it afterwards.
