    I really don’t understand how a relgious community, who worships a guy who was a dark skinned, middle eastern, Jewish person, can be so racist against those very people.

        And Christian, he was Jewish and so were all of the 12 apostles. The first few hundred years of popes, followers and leaders were all Jewish. Christianity was formed as a sect of Judaism. It blows my mind that they are hateful against any of these groups.

          That’s not true. Besides, the Pope back that long ago was just the bishop of Rome. Early Christianity was very much a fusion between Judaism and Greek Platonist philosophy, and the Bible itself has entire books written to Greek churches filled with gentiles.

          Edit: By “that’s not true,” I meant that the church leaders for centuries were not Jewish. Of course Jesus and the apostles were.

            Wasn’t Peter the first pope? Was Peter Jewish? Yesssssss he was both. The Bible itself were books chosen by a 4th century committee. I’m not going to fight with you about this since you care, because that’s not a good sign for you.

              Wasn’t Peter the first pope? Was Peter Jewish?

              The title was applied posthumously. In fact, the title of pontifex maximus that is applied to the Pope is a far more ancient position than Christianity; Even Julius Caesar held the title before it transitioned into a Christian office.

              So even ignoring the complicated history of what “Pope” even means, you declared that every pope, leader, and believer for centuries was Jewish.

              So, you’ve got the first Pope “figured out.”

              Who was the second, and where was he from?

              I’ll give you a hint: he wasn’t Jewish.

              The Bible itself were books chosen by a 4th century committee.

              And how many Jewish representatives were on that committee?

      It’s more than just being against Jesus’s “people” (both brown skinned and Jewish, things white supremacists hate), they also hate the teachings of Jesus, which would be considered socialist in nature these days, or “woke” even.

      Cutting through all of their bullshit, these fascists just want to control the in-groups, and in America Christianity is one of the major in-group. Similar stuff is happening in India, where the Hindu nationalists have power and are growing more and more aggressive towards their Muslim country men and other minority groups. Once the major in-groups are under their control then the really fascist stuff starts happening, like forcing people into ghettos and concentration camps under the threat of violence, with secretive ultra-violence.
