I believe in order to understand why christians are tolerant now, you should ask yourself when did christians started to became more tolerant?

Yes that's a good question, when did christians become more tolerant? Was it during the renaissance when the european kingdoms where still invading jerusalem and syria and massacring anybody who wasn't a white christian? Or was it after that when the europeans colonised africa and the americas, enslaving the natives and butchering anybody who showed resistance? Was it during the american civil war, when the yankees offered black slaves freedom in exchange for using them as human shields in their battles? Or was it after the civil war when blacks were lynched and spat on by the KKK and yankees alike?

When exactly did christians become tolerant?

From a historical perspective from the brutal enforcement of christianity by the Romans up until today and no doubt for years still to come, christians have never been tolerant of anybody. They preach tolerance now only to put their opponents at ease before they stick the knife in, and they've always behaved worse than the savages and heretics they've condemned so readily.

(EDIT: as a matter of fact they dont preach tolerance only now, look at the missionaries in the colonies during that era of european colonisation- they walked into societies and told them, be passive, believe in god and all will be well- and look at these colonies today, they didnt develop into prospoerous nations, they developed into the oppressive vassal states that they are today. You're fooling yourself if you think christianization is anything other than voluntary suicide)

In contrast, it's been the muslims who have showed tolerance and compassion. During the crusades, for an obvious example, when the muslims reconquered cities and land they always showed tolerance and respect to the jews and christians they encountered. But when the christians retook the cities and land they butchered and raped jews and muslims regardless. It's one of the things that makes me angry today how the zionists in israel treat the palestinians, given the historical background where the muslims had always given respect to the jews, now that the jewish zionists are in power their genocidal attitude actions toward muslims are disgusting..


My point anyway.. is that the christian west has always lied and cheated and stolen and murdered and never had a shred of honour or respect for anyone. So why be surprised they continue to act this way today?
