Nothing Christianity ever does is Christianity's fault.
Quote:It marked the change in the rationale for wars in Europe when France, a Catholic nation, joined against the Catholic nations merely because they did not want to be weak next to the Hapsburgs....you gravely weakened your argument by making the 30 Years' War an issue.
I would define my 'argument' as 'Christian crimes against humanity didn't cease in 1648', and that is by any objective measure true. They're still going on today, to the greatest extent that today's neutered religion can manage. It's only 25 years since the end of the Cold War, and the Christian religion most certainly pulled a lot of strings even that recently. It was the godlessness of the Soviet Union that terrorized Christian America at least as much as the idea of capitalism being shorn away. After all, Soviet/West relations began with instant antagonism (and a military invasion) from the West against those godless Bolsheviks.
I suppose we should forget the millions who died in all the stupid proxy wars and congratulate the Christians running the show in the West for not causing global apocalypse. "In God We Trust".
If this is where you decide to frame the many atrocities of the Soviet Union as some kind of atheist holy war, "you're no better than we are" doesn't actually make you look good.
