    You’re making it sound like this isn’t straight up Christianity.

    For this one Christianity is to blame, not Nazis.

      My brother in Christ, it’s all the same ideals.

      “When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”

        Except Collective Shout is Australian (which is unsurprising, considering that AUS is also a hotbed of hate groups).

          Feel free to provide the Australian equivalent of the quote if there is one. The country can be substituted for any not-yet-Fascist-controlled country and still apply, in my opinion.
          Different countries might have different symbolism instead of a flag and cross, but the sentiment is that Fascism disguises itself and evolves to fit in wherever it goes.

        And he despised the rich. Turns out Christianity today is what it always has been, consolidation of (male) wealth and power. It never really had much to do with the teachings of Jesus

        What’s Jesus have to do with Christianity? Christianity has always been Paul’s religion, not Jesus’.

        Was Mary Magdelene a prostitute? Or is it possible that she was just a promiscuous (or possibly just headstrong) woman, and the book was written at a time when they was frowned upon?
