    Christians ended slavery after starting it!?! Great for them! The founders also spoke against Christianity with very intense language so I don’t know if I would hang my hat there.

    Your rewrite of history notwithstanding, if you are having to go back decades to prove your point while ignoring modern events then there wasn’t really a point being made at all.

    “Without bringing up how the right is forcing young rape victims to have their rapists babies name the last thing that you think some Bible thumping right winger in office dictated.”

    Lol. That is enough all on its on.

    Same sex marriage
    Laws that protect religious institutions from child rape and reporting
    Bills to suck public funds to religious schools so they can indoctrinate more children

    Would you like some more?

    Because the Egyptians who existed millenia before Christianity is a myth.... those slave built pyramids are an illusion.

    If you really really believe Christians created slavery then you are living a vastly different reality than the rest of humanity. Do you really believe this?

    And it's incredibly ironic projection that he accused you of "rewriting history" lol

    When you want to blame everything on the Christian boogie man you have to get creative with history or rewrite it or otherwise alter it to suit your agenda.

    Everything I said is true.
    Are you under the impression that only Christian Africans discriminate against homosexual Africans?

    Who started in in the United States?
    Who fostered it?
    Who defended it with religious passages?

    I adore that you omitted the rest of the inconvenient facts, very telling of your agenda.

    I don't share your anti-christian bias so I'm not really interested in reading something that confirms it.

    I get it.... Some Christians in Africa persecute homosexuals. Therefore... all Christians bad

    The article is about American Christian organizations pushing the legislation being seen in Africa

    You’re welcome

    The founders were not happy with the religious intolerance of the Puritans, but they were very much guided by the humanity of Christian values. I don’t know where you found that the founders “spoke against Christianity with very intense language.” Perhaps that was in your progressive college history text book.

    Yeh — education and college, the enemies of the right wing

    Or I can just look up their words

    This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it.
    John Adams

    Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law.
    Thomas Jefferson

    The way to see by Faith is to shut the Eye of Reason.
    Benjamin Franklin

    The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma.
    Abraham Lincoln


    I can post some more if you would like? Too bad college likely isn’t an option any longer but you should still be able to Google. Knowledge is out there, you just have to look.

    Go ahead and post it, but the fact remains that the founders were heavily influenced by Christian values. The people you cite were heavily influenced by the excesses of the Puritans exemplified by the Salem witch trials. What do you think was the source of their values?

    Values are one thing — basing law off religious principles when said law cannot stand on its on is the only thing I take issue with.

    I have no issue with religion, I have issues with organized religion especially when they become lobbying organizations

    They are so brainwashed they will do anything the squad tells them to do. Hell, we've got Queers for Palestinians and Gays for Palestinians, when the fact is these people would be executed by Islamists for their behavior. That's how stupid they are.

    Actually, if this story is B.S., there are many cases of America woman marrying Arabs and they find that the husband has taken the children to Arab countries and left the wife behind. Was not so long ago that woman in the U.S. did not have a vote, 1920. Most of the woman in shelters for abused woman are married to Christian raised men. 2023. You have to wonder what other species of animal kills over religion, politics or invades other countries and kills all of its occupants, including woman and children, for the right to the land and all their possessions. The sad part is, that no matter how horrible the atrocity, we root for them like they are a sport team if we have ethnic ties to them. Sometimes Progressive is Regressive.

    Progressive Western women converting to Islam, sharing reasons on social media since Hamas attack

    I'm not surprised that a few moronic women would practice that stupidity. There are always a few. How many were there by the way?

    But take a look at the views of so many young progressive women coming out of college on the Israel-Palestinian conflict, Islam, and even Hamas.
    It could almost be said that the super-progressive faculty, because of what they've been teaching these women, have almost laid the groundwork to make it very easy for these young students to be attracted to Islam, including activist Islam against that is against Israel. From there it's almost not that big of a jump to support Hamas.

    Why? I don't care about their views. When I came out of college most graduates had some common sense. Apparently we have figured out how to teach people to abandon common sense.

    Hmm. And why do you think so many more young females are falling for this?

    Could it be that a lot of young females are, by their nature, kind of senseless. Easily led by whatever strong domineering ideology (or man) wants to lead them.

    For that you will need to take a look at what's actually going on in many of the American colleges.

    You sound like an old person. It's not the same classroom that it was back then.

    Converting to Islam is like tattooing - it is difficult to remove.
    In the traditional Islam apostacy is a serious crime very often punishable by death.
    But for ugly women it is a good choice - in burqa every woman looks sexi.

    My money is on this story will be nothing in another day or two, but every MAGA will cling onto the conspiracy no matter the facts.

    Its so funny that the most intolerant group of people, Islamists are gaining allies in the group of people that fancy themselves the most tolerant group of people.

    In fact, the most I think about it the less surprising it is.

    Islamists are very intolerant. The left, fancies itself as tolerant but has demonstrated over the last few decades that their tolerance is a facade.

    There genuinely seems to be a common theme of fascism and authoritarianism between the two.
