I was wondering if there are many in this forum that is interested in the history of religion.

clarkatticus comments on Mar 17, 2018:

Read the Oxford History of Christianity. I know they don't mean to but they spell out exactly how it evolved from other religions and cultures. That is what every religion is, a lawyer would call it precedent. Religion was (is) the science of the time, simple explainations for people too weak or ...

crazycurlz replies on Mar 18, 2018:

yes, may be too harsh to call people weak or lazy, especially when (until the Gutenberg bible?) people were not allowed access to knowledge

Mother Theresa. Bad or good?

A fundamentalist, a fanatic and a fraud... Christopher Hitchens

Civility and Governance is collapsing around our heads in the United States. Our vice president is near to, if not in fact a christian domininist. He will likely be our next POTUS, sooner or a bit later. This as we are near at war with serious and potent enemies. Lack of concern would verge on ...

crazycurlz replies on Mar 17, 2018:

Is civility and governance really collapsing around our heads? Pre-Trump we were all apathetic. Look at us now. Energized. Caring about our Constitution, getting informed. Especially the millenials. Trump and his idiot cronies ARE shocking but I'm optimistic still.

Wondering if anyone else is afraid of this.

Hitler wasn't a Christian, though he was somewhat indifferent towards religion. Several high ranking Nazis saw Christianity as a threat to their movement's authority.

crazycurlz replies on Mar 17, 2018:

@TimothyIII I'm NOT convinced that religion in and of itself is dangerous. But, I think it's a too ready and available tool for people who like to abdicate thinking to others.

crazycurlz replies on Mar 17, 2018:

Nicole, 'Hitler was indifferent to religion...'. but he killed a lot of people and his main target were the Jews, LGBTQ, gypsies, disabled, vulnerable minorities. Many, many Christians were brave enough CHRISTIAN enough to speak out, act in defense of these minorities. But, there's no question church leadership, overall, was culpable if only in their silence. Not so today. Germany under Chancellor Merkell is remarkable in her determination to keep the record straight: Germany will not embrace neo Nazis. AND look at where we are in this country. So many white Americans, even amongst the many that voted for Trump, are NOT racists, not in favor of waving the rebel flag. I think it's okay IMPORTANT even for Christianity to reflect on its history. And, one more thing, to put the record straight...according to (PEW, southern poverty law, ACLU) the white hate groups ARE responsible in the US for most acts of violence. This IS different between US and UK...I know yours are Islamic terrorists and I fear we are headed in that direction too.

Wondering if anyone else is afraid of this.

TimothyIII comments on Mar 17, 2018:

I certainly share a concern about religion incerting itself in the affairs of the nation. Christian doctrine controlling laws and lawmakers is no different that the Taliban, just a different religion. Having a con man who uses religion as a tool holding the highest post in the government is a ...

crazycurlz replies on Mar 17, 2018:

I think the Taliban, to date, is much, much worse than what we've seen in the Christian politicians, as a whole, in the US. Trump and the so-called religious right only make up 1/3 of voters in this country and look at the reaction...the democrats are electrified/unified. You would never see that under the Taliban. Granted, I believe that's because of our Constitution and separation of Church and State but there's some incredibly ethical, moral religious people (Christians, Jews, Muslims, I mean Western, Eastern, tribal...all inclusive)

Wondering if anyone else is afraid of this.

nicknotes comments on Mar 17, 2018:

When the Christians controlled the governments in Europe in the "dark ages" they murdered Atheists, Homosexuals, Jews, and anyone who didn't follow their religion. Be aware that if they ever take control again they will put a stake up your rectum and roast you like a pig.

crazycurlz replies on Mar 17, 2018:

nicknotes, yes to this. The difference between the Christians of Europe in the dark ages and us now, in simplest terms, is the separation of church and state.

Well said phxbilicee, on all counts. And how fragile are these freedoms? Losing our constitutional rights would plunge us all into a deep dark medieval space.

Or is yours the same argument that we take against those who say the problem is people not guns.
