Likewise, “identity politics” is a term so widely accepted that it has its own Wikipedia page, academic literature, and enthusiastic champions on your side of the aisle.
For a guy who likes to look at Wikipedia, you should also look up gender and learn that it not a biological concept.
I didn't say that gender politics doesn't exist but that you don't know what it is and thus use it wrongly.
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"
