Here in 2021 with the situation of the world today, I’ll flat out say that I am 100% behind the christians and churches on this....

with that said though, Christian Europe spent 2000 years burning down Jewish synagogues and wiping out countless Jewish shtetls in the process...that culminated in the final solution where countless Christian nations annihilated their Jewish neighbors (Poland/Lithuania/Latvia/Ukraine etc...)

I didn’t live in those times so I can’t speak for or judge the actions of those people who did what they did. BUT considering where we are today.....I know where the true evil is and it’s not the church or its parishioners.

Pssst, it wasn’t the Christians in those nations that undertook the atrocities. Just because someone calls themselves Christian doesn’t mean they are saved. Heck, we have men calling themselves women, and women calling themselves men, and both genders calling themselves whatever they want. Doesn’t mean they are.

The true Christians were the ones who were persecuted, not the ones doing the persecuting

You say “christian Europe “ did those terrible things. But such horrible actions go directly AGAINST the teachings of Christ.

When a Moslem kills an infidel, he is HOLDING TO actual Koran verses, upholding Moslem teaching.

When atheists burn down churches, they are living up to their own survival-of-the-fittest ideology.

You really have a flawed and biased view of history

Europe didn't spend "2000 years burning down Jewish synagogues..."

  1. Europe hasn't even been Christian for 2000 years. It's been partially Christian since the 2nd century and majority Christian only since the 8th century

  2. The first pogroms of Jews in the European continent under Christians was recorded in the 1300s -- bad yes, but not your 2000 years of burning down

  3. unless you want to add the Roman persecution following the Kitos war in 114 AD?

And " Christian nations annihilated their Jewish neighbors (Poland/Lithuania/Latvia/Ukraine etc...)" -- what are you yapping on about? Poland didn't "annihilate it's Jews" -- the Germans did that under the Nazis. Oh, don't toss Jedwabne -- a horrific murder definitely, but paling in comparison to the millions murdered by the Nazis shortly AND this was done under Nazi compulsion

And you forgot about Zagota?
