And here I thought HN got rid of bigoted comments like this.
- KingMob 3y ago> the latter literally convinving people to convert by sword Unlike such famously gentle Christian coercions like the Spanish Inquisition or the Crusades. :P
- tekknik 3y agoThat was Catholicism, not Christianity. Which is my point, your average non-religious person does not understand the difference between religions. Be it Islam vs Christianity, or Christianity vs Catholicism.
- KingMob 3y agoWow. If you're going to tar all of Islam by their worst members ("the latter literally convinving people to convert by sword"), you can't object if someone applies the same logic to Christianity. > Christianity vs Catholicism Catholics aren't Christian? Sounds exactly like some of evangelical nuts I grew up around. Most of the world views Christianity as a big umbrella, with Catholics and Protestants being two of the major flavors. (Somehow I highly doubt you're Eastern Orthodox.) > your average non-religious person does not understand the difference between religions And apparently, neither do you, my evangelical wingnut in Christ.
