    Ahh, I see you meant the global south, which india isn’t really part of, since it is north of the Equator.

    Also you are ignoring the persecution of other religions.

    If Christianity is actually persecuted, then they brought it on themselves. Shouldn’t have forced indigenous peoples to abandon their religions, and forced them to become Christians. Y’all should have been better neighbors, not bothering other people with your bullshit constantly. If you acted like any other religion, you wouldn’t have the backlash.

        Name one other religion that engages in door to door proselytism. I’ll wait.

        Your own violence begat the violence that you receive.

        Also, I said “any other religion,” stop lying. Typical US Christian.

        Also, don’t quote the Bible at me. I don’t follow your fanfiction book, so it doesn’t apply to me.

            Changing the goalposts, I see.

            That doesn’t stop the very same deacons and priests from sending their followers to violently convert me.

            We are talking about Christianity as a whole, not just one specific sect.

            Again, you’re a typical US Christian. A liar.

              Catholicism is Christianity

              and will people stop retconning the US into my life?

              and which diocese/archdiocese sent violence after you?

                Oh absolutely, Catholics are a part of Christianity. You’re the one that brought up Catholicism.

                That would be whatever diocese runs Pope John Paul XXIII school. I’m not a Christian and after those fucks, the rest of Christianity won’t stop knocking on my door.

                Other religions don’t do this. Hell even the “annoying” (to others, they seem fine to me,) Hari-Krishnas and Fulan Gong people only ever asked me for money, not forcibly tried to get me to follow their fanfic, and going to someone’s house with the intent to start a conversation they have not asked for is forceful conversion, or what Christianity calls proselytism.

                Terribly sorry you aren’t American, congratulations on that. I called you a US Christian, because they are just as delusional about their persecution as you seem to be.

                  “the rest of Christianity”?

                  can you describe what happens when they knock on your door and what they say?

                    The several hundred sects that make up that particular religion. Ya know, if one specific part of a group is a part, then the rest of the group is “the rest of” the group.

                    It varies, but I have had some of them be quite hostile when I start using my logic and forced knowledge of your fanfic to start tearing apart the inherent contradictions in your faith. Like the Bible being pro-choice. They get really mad when I tell them to look up Numbers 5:11-31 and other such verses.

                    IDK, and I don’t care enough about your little book club to give you enough information to know which school I’m referring to.

                    I’ll fully admit that I had it easy compared to what they put their own kids through. I was only there for a few years before my parents realized that the Catholic school was only the best education in town for Catholics, and they bullied everyone else. I’m pretty sure I know who touchy McPreist was, and I’m pretty sure I know who he “liked.” He knew my parents would get litigious if they tried to indoctrinate me too hard, much less what they’d have done if he got near me. I didn’t know this back then, just looking back, there were signs.

        and no man shall be punished for the crimes of his father

        Then why do you keep citing original sin as justification for punishment that can only be offset by sacrificial offerings?

            and no man shall be punished for the crimes of his father

            Except we are all punished for what our ancestors did?

            How do you not see the contradiction here?

            And what about the baby who was killed for David’s sin? And his wives raped?

                verses?

                Genesis. Or do you mean verses about David? Try forming complete sentences, flex your brain.

                2 Samuel 12:

                Yahweh struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and he was very sick. 16 David therefore begged God for the child; and David fasted, and went in and lay all night on the ground. 17 The elders of his house arose beside him, to raise him up from the earth; but he would not, and he didn’t eat bread with them. 18 On the seventh day, the child died.

                The whole story is fucked.

                And original sin corrupted all of humanity

                That’s exactly the problem, it’s punishing people who did not make the mistake for the mistake of their fathers. Right after you said that never happens.

                  1. When was his wife raped? And the child was killed to punish David. Also, the Old Testament was fulfilled by Christ

                  2. If I am a chainsmoker, my kids are probably gonna have negative effects from my chainsmoking right?

                    When was his wife raped?

                    READ YOUR OWN GODDAM BIBLE. 2 Samuel 12:

                    11 “This is what Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he will lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.

                    2 Samuel 16:

                    21 Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to your father’s concubines that he has left to keep the house. Then all Israel will hear that you are abhorred by your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong.”

                    22 So they spread a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.

                    If you want to argue that the concubines were not his wives, the point remains that god punished women for the “sins” a man committed.

                    And the child was killed to punish David.

                    That’s my whole fucking point. That is horrifying, completely unjust, and you lied earlier when you said no child is punished for the sin of his father. You like certain phrases because they sound nice, but they don’t actually hold up.

                    Also, the Old Testament was fulfilled by Christ

                    Why was it ever okay to kill babies and take sex slaves? How did christ “fulfill” that?

                    Have you read the old testament? You should try it. It is a gross pile of shit.

                    If I am a chainsmoker, my kids are probably gonna have negative effects from my chainsmoking right?

                    Smoke is real. We can measure it. Sin is not.

                    If you commit a murder, should your child be killed to punish you?
