50 AD Christians: >we wuz getting oppressed n shit. They be throwing us to the lions and killing us! Why can't we just meet in the middle and live peacefully with the pagans??
380AD After Christianity takes power in rome: >*spends 1000 years purging pagans and heretics and burning people on stakes and not generally tolerating anything non catholic*
Chr*stians are white niggers who adopted filthy Semitic religion, duh. Oh, and consider yourself checked. Worthy post.

Real Christianity only exists in the powerless, the downtrodden, the worthless. If the world hates you, you are on the right path
If you gain power, you are on Satan's course. Don't be too surprised at the results
Christian Scott
Wh*te people started being christian. The Semitic, previously jewish early christians were not a barbaric people.
Congrats, you now realize Europeans are the cancer on the world.
Robert Thompson
Why does this make Christianity sound like some proto communism? >real Christianity only exists with the poor oppressed workers and proles I swear if it weren't for societal advancement people would have thought Marx was divine
Nathan Sanders
>After Christianity takes power in rome
After Catholicism takes power in Rome.
Fixed that for you. Also, daily reminder that Catholics are not Christians, and are actually the enemy of Christianity.
Elijah Robinson
>societal advancement

Justin Ross
You want a citation for the common knowledge that more people started to learn to read and write in the century within Marx was born?
Levi Edwards
>Why does this make Christianity sound like some proto communism? Because Christianity functionally was a sort of proto-communism. The common brotherhood of man, among other reformation and progressive ideas, aren't exactly new. Christianity really paved the way for them. People have been setting up hippy communes for-fucking-ever. Christendom just created the theological backdrop necessary to justify it on a wider scale. The pagan religions had no means of justifying that manner of altruism - at least means known to me.

Hey, having a literate ruling elite isn't necessarily a bad thing. Look at what it did to Islam. Things were breddy alright and stable, then suddenly any nigger can declare himself an Imam. Then you get Wahabi Islam. Granted, the CIA funding helped. But anyway, the user you're arguing with is going to contend that advancement is subjective anyway, so no point in arguing really.
Luke Jenkins
What are you implying?
Evan Morris
>The pagan religions had no means of justifying that manner of altruism
And for good reason, look what happens under forced altruism such as christianity or communism
mass starvation mass death (daily reminder the church told people to pray and not wash themselves like the pagans did and that's how the black death killed millions) persecution of free, innocent thought and ideas inefficient system of production because no competition and no incentive for innovation and improvement (improving your material living conditions is a sin!) Honestly dropping the whole muh poverty bullshit was the best thing protestants could do
Jace Ward
No, I want a citation indicating that it's an advancement.
Luke Campbell
You're not getting one. Sick my dick you autistic nigger faggot and get fucked.

Practically every self proclaimed pastor is a phariseee today. They can all rattle on about how being gay is bad, sex is bad, and so on. All whole like they molest kids, and reside in megachurches with their nice cars. But never once will they look to the spirit of the law and what it means. Tell them Christ commanded people to love each other and they’ll recoil like Jews who lost a penny. Hell, I bet some people still think the parable of the Good Samaritan is some bullshit “Christ saves me” parable.
Dominic Price
epic argument
William Clark
Nietzsche said that Communism couldn’t have happened without Christianity. Christianity is a religion for slaves. Once the king is Christian, the ideology of the leader is no longer the ideology of a leader. This sounds good at face value, but in practice, it is very dangerous.
Evan Bell
Why didn't you just ask him to explain, instead of going off on a tangent?
Elijah Rodriguez
Aye, I agree. It's not an advancement but a coarsening and degradation of society that has taken place over the last few centuries.
Hunter Ortiz
>Christianity is a religion for slaves.
Is it opposite day? Christianity is an anti-religion for people who have been freed from all things, including religion.
Luke Martin
Not him but how is more people knowing how to read not an advancement
Tyler Brown
If you hold the catholic faith true than it can be justified. Oppression wouldn't be wrong just because it's oppression but because it's targeted at the truth.
Jaxon Taylor
>>Christianity is an anti-religion for people who have been freed from all things, including religion. The problem is that this wrong, christianity is a religion, specifically it is an abrahamic religion with all that implies.
Jayden Hernandez

This conversation reminds me of Alyoshka the Baptist from One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.
Really great example, as a Baptist he explains that prison/persecution is essentially a gift for Christians.
Leo Fisher
Nothing wrong with that
Jacob Torres
How are they not Christians of they accept Jesus Christ as their savior?

Going to need a source for that.

not him, but here's a source on Jesus preaching against washing your hands:
Matthew 15 1-3
1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
Evan Reed
Daily reminder your off-brand Christianity crap isn't Christianity

>Explain
Trade souls for worldly power - spend eternity conscious in solitary confinement for high treason against Pharaoh/Caesar.
That's the contractual agreement between Abrahamics and God.
>Why does this make Christianity sound like some proto communism?
"Everyone except Pharoah has a license from God to kill people."
It is bolshevism.
Leo Young
>agree to live peacefully with civilized pagans >*lives peacefully with civilized pagans* >Celts, Slavs, Hellenes, Levantines, Armenians, Persians, Iberians, Gauls, Britons, Saxons, and Salian Franks >N*rd Paganlarp comes and kills pacifists, women, children, and steals anything that isn't nailed down Hey, at least they weren't burning people as a yearly festival. >poverty = communism You retarded m8? That's what commies believe, Poverty is honorable. The endless pursuit of wealth and power is for plebs who simply don't understand.
