I just do not think the church is the root of all evil.
People are the root of evil and they/we will use any excuse.
"Christian" nations have used Christianity as an excuse for devilment.
Atheist countries have just used a different excuse. |
Oh, no, I don’t believe the church is the root of all evil either, shockingly enough. That’s way too simplistic.
Look at the way the ancient Egyptians/Nubians/Greeks/Spartans/Romans treated each other (and how Rome treated Christians at first). Yuck-o-rama! I am no fan of ancient Rome.
I’m a little cross-eyed today due to a low-level migraine, so I make a brainfahrt (“Oh, now the girl claims to have a headache!  and conflate dates/events/cultures in a way I shouldn’t, kick me good. There also were a whole cheese-poofy ton of secular reasons for the Crusades, anyway.
And waddaya think I claim to be, a saint?
