    so that has an effect on the religion itself.

    Indeed.

    Also, remember, Christians were basically in agreement until very recently

    For sure. I’d definitely call it faith based hate though when American preachers are spewing hate. I’m sure the real culprit is material conditions but it seems a bit of a copout imo when it’s religion that’s being used to perpetuate that hate.

      It seems like a copout because you don’t like bigots. Understandable, I don’t like them either! I don’t waste my time blaming them, though, because I know if the material conditions change then the bigots would change too.

        To me it’s their actions and their effect on others that concern me more than what is the background for their bigotry.

          Sure, but I want to attack the root of the problem rather than bad individuals. The bad individuals can (and should!) be dealt with after the primary contradiction is dealt with, and that’s Zionists waving my flag and my colors when it commits genocide.

          Not in my name.
