Note how persecution complex usually evolve into prosecution Complex.
Hmm. Jews did not invent inquisitions and jihads.

Since only one of them is, it’s kind of silly to take Christians to task for disapproving of the real genocide and approving of a fake one.

It is not fake to them. That is the point. They applaud it and try to justify it.

I figured I'd just light a match and see if anything burns.
Fire is good.
I have been promoting more of that being used by the B.L.M. and the other oppressed groups that are demonstrating, mostly peacefully, as we speak in the U.S.
They have protested with peace for many years and a real smart guy said that to continue doing the same thing, while expecting a different outcome, is a sign of insanity.
To continue in peace, is insane, when their are no results.
Yes I am a privalidged white guy.

And even for Christians who take these accounts literally, they don't necessarily think much about them or have skewed and selected ideas of what the OT says (based on what they're told by pastors and such).
And for those who do (often lazily) approve of genocide as depicted, some will nevertheless say God would never do this again because <insert reasoning to do with New Covenant or whatever>.
As for Muslims and Jews, similar thing. Large variety out there.
You have been talking to liars and I do not share their views.
Almost all Christians are literalists. One has to read the bible literally to some extent to believe in Jesus.
I do agree that Christians are weak Christians with beliefs all over the cherry picked map.
As to no more genocide!
What is Armageddon?
