I Hate Christianity

Here in the west, christianity is the greatest threat to LGBTQ rights we face, in fact it's a threat to all human rights. That's why christians are attempting to divert attention away from themselves towards Islam and its attitude to the LGBTQ community, hoping we won't notice how oppressive christianity is.

Not to burst your bubble but believe it or not the LGBTQ community isn't the centre of the universe nor is it really much of a concern in an political arena. Christianity has been doing what you're talking about since the dawn societies I.e the crusades.

@BJR66 The crusades were christianity's early attempts at genocide - by wiping out another religion. They haven't changed much.

@BJR66 The Crusades were a counter attack against militant Islam, which had swept over the previous Christian ME and Anatolia. The rulers of Byzantium asked for help from western Christianity, which brought the Crusaders. When Outremer was in its prime, many Islamics preferred to live there, under Christian rule because taxes were lower.

@OnlyRhonda Bellicose christians saw Islam as a threat to christian dominance, that's why they attacked. The Witch Hunts were another example of christianity being spread by the sword.

@Sharon Islam attacked the Christian states first. Islam attacked the ME in the 7th century and Manzikert was in 971, about 30 years before the western Christian Crusades

They were attempting to spread "The Word of Allah". Perhaps they were just copying the way early christians spread the word of their god, by attacking indigenous Pagan populations in other countries.

@Sharon Could you give a truthful example? I am sure there must be one - I just can't think of any.
I do know that the Islamics spread their religion by the sword from Arabia across North Africa and into Spain, and into Anatolia and then eastern Europe as far as Vienna. In the east, they attacked the Persians and then Hindus. And still butcher people in the name of Allah.

@OnlyRhonda Haven't you heard of the Witch Hunts? I'd call them an example of christians suppressing the Old Religion. The current Islamic year is 1442 so we can say it's at roughly the same stage of development as christianity was in 1442. That was roughly the time of the Spanish Inquisition which killed between 3000 and 4000 people.

@Sharon I thought you meant early Christianity. From what I've read of the witch trials, they were less about Christianity and more about women getting other women into trouble. Some seemed to mix witchcraft with devil worship and the tales of some of the covens were scary. I doubt there was much of any old religion among the so-called witches though. The Inquisition - the counter to the reformed church, as you know - was devilishly nasty.
