Just get to making people walk around with pink triangles and gold stars on their clothing. We know your end goal. You’re already building the extermination camps.

    Blaming Christianity is so disingenuous. American conservatism has always been about fear of the other. Christianity was just a convient excuse. Even before evangelical conservatism became major thing the root cause was European superiority.

    This all started at the beginning of the country

      I would agree if this was an American only phenomenon, but American Christianity isnt the only flavour and it isnt the only one which propagates hate and division.

      Unfortunately christianity is a religion of fear, a religion of obedience to power and might makes right, a religion of total control and dominance. In effect it embeds and empowers fascism.

        You can say that about every religion, political party, or social construct. The primitive part of our brains are programmed to fear what is different from us whether class, ethnicity, race, religion or even fandom. Im not even a Christian but acting like Christianity or any religion is the sole reason for this is naive.

        If it wasn’t religion it’d be something else
