Just stop and smell the roses bros. The journey will soon end. And peace will once again reign.

You shall judge them by their fruits.

It's clearly not the Hindus or the Mosselmen.

So the fruit of Christianity has never been slavery, torture, murder, hypocrisy (THE POPE HAD KIDS!), etc.?

Do you know anything about human history at all?

Was that just luck too that it survived?

Yes!!! Do you know anything about the history of the Jews? The entire race was nearly wiped off the face of the planet, multiple times (pre-Holocaust).

And you know what? So were literally thousands of other religious/ethnographic groups at the time! But we never hear about them because the Jews were the lucky ones that happened to survive when those other ones (that no one knows/cares about now) didn't.

There's even a term for this failure in logical thinking: survivorship bias. Both Juidaism and Christianity survived, when hundreds of other groups didn't, but you don't hear about those groups so you make incorrect assumptions about the survivors.

Those things existed in greater proportion prior to Christianity.

Then, in the thirteenth century, Saint Thomas Aquinas deduced that slavery was a sin, and a series of popes upheld his position, beginning in 1435 and culminating in three major pronouncements against slavery by Pope Paul III in 1537.

That's 3 minutes of googling. I hope it has helped.

This is why Reiwa is sometimes my favorite poster even tho sometimes I just want to roll my eyes constantly like an apoplectic teen.

And all of the Christian slave-owners, both before and after that (maybe you forgot that slavery was still widespread in America ... by Christian slave-owners ... for centuries after?) just don't matter?
