Yeah, what is wrong with Ukrainians when they don't want to live under the rule of a guy who is trying to kill them? I know what it is: it is the western woke culture that is telling them not to trust a guy just because he is trying to starve them, freeze them and blast them to pieces.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
