And then the apostles immediately split themselves and the church. Culminating in the split of the greco-orthodox and Catholic churches, which themselves have splintered, because you all are hateful people who are following a book written by apocalyptic Jews, converted into apocalyptic Christians.
I don't have to know the entire damn history of the founding of other religions, and their founding books in self defense. I have had to with Christianity in general, and Catholics specifically. You don't know what persecution is you practice it on yourselves and others constantly.
Saint Cephas is the First Pope, and Jesus Christ made him the Rock of His Church (The Catholic Church)
We know what persecution is
we were persecuted in almost every nation until the 300s and we are still persecuted a LOT in the global south
I don't care what lies you believe, about the history of your oppressive belief system. I will admit that your religion did face a fair bit of persecution in the first few hundred years of the various sects, until they turned around and became global persecutors. I will listen to the archaologists and historians, not fanfic weebs.
we were and are persecuted in a lot of places
As I said, you brought it on yourselves in the tiny amount of places that it might happen. You're a hateful religion that likes killing people who don't want shit to do with your hateful book.
how is the Bible hateful?
Because every single form of culture it has spawned used the book to be imperialist murderous fucks. That's how. It tells you to kill all sorts of people all the time. Though shalt not murder was immediately given terms and conditions.
Thou shalt not Murder is a commandment, no matter what, dont murder
and verses?
Well you fuckers don't follow that commandment as much as you possibly can. Why don't you try following your own shitty book and leaving people alone?
