Christians are mass rapist and murderers throughout history.

Yeah, looks like a lot of murder, rape, and killing just like every Christian nation.

Needless to say Christianity has always been spread by the sword. My ancestors were forced to convert or die.
But look at this worn torn country of death and rape! See Christianity isn't that bad.
most ignorant lib of the day award please readsettlers.org
Yes, you are ignorant of the damage Christianity has done. How many gays in Africa have Christians butchered at the request of US Evangelicals.

The list goes on and on. Truly ignorance must be bliss on your part.
Blaming the overexploited for the problems in their society is a fucked up thing to do. Do you not realise that the homophobia in africa is not due to christianity which had been there for over a thousand years before the colonisers? I guess you do because you correctly blame US evangelicals (~~if only someone had linked a video detailing the rise of US evangelical missions due to imperialism and not the other way around~~ got my threads mixed up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hePRA9yVdQE) so I don't know what your point actually is... is the oppression inherent to christianity or did it come from outside?
also calling others ignorant while and refusing to readsettlers.org is such an onbrand thing to do lmao
Listen, just because you can't accept Christianity is a garbage religion doesn't mean we can't. Do I need to remind you that it was used to justify the slave trade and led to the concept of race which has been used to divide and destroy people lives ever since?
Please point out how Christianity has stopped war and brought us to peace. I can find numerous examples of the opposite, so I actually need to see that Christianity has done much more good than the harm it has caused.
I am acutely aware of colonialism and the slave trade having studied it for years. The human suffering and destruction the whites brought to the new world and Africa is staggering. How the Catholic church used the inquisition to remove moorish blood from Spain. This is the foundation of the white supremecist movement brought to us by Christianity.
Please lecture me on my ignorance though.
No shifting the goalposts! This was my original claim
The analogy I used elsewhere was
to show this I only need to show examples where christianity hasn't caused settler-colonialism and one example was ethiopian christians. You then blamed the ethiopians for their societies state and not the colonizers.
your claim that christianity (or rather all religion? Seeing the religious justification for pissrahell is judaism) is the cause is a much stronger one that requires more than some articles off of a half-assed google search. I however linked you a video that details the rise of us evangelical missionaries as caused by the empire and not the other way around. And a whole-ass book on settlerism.
so you agree it was a justification, not the cause?
Strawman so dry australia declared it a national threat
and yet, no opinions on readsettlers.org?
It is the ROOT cause of racism and white supremacy. These are integral to colonialism. You have failed to prove your point. You have also failed to defend Christianity.
Take your goalposts and go the fuck home unless you have something other than denialism to add to the conversation.
