    Tell me, what deeds did Amalek commit to warrant murdering their children?

    Also, Christianity promoted and benefited from colonialism and slave trade isn’t a debatable topic, it’s settled history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_and_colonialism

    You can be a Christian, as long as you do it without shoving your bullshit ideals down other people’s throats. Whenever I need something shoved down my throat I contact your husband.

      look inside

      “some missionaries” and people that used Christianity to try to justify Colonialism, Christianity was basically the state religion of colonial powers but that doesnt mean all christians were colonizers

      “Colonialism” is a very broad term and there were a bunch of slave trades from 30 AD to 2026 AD, which one did we “benefit” from? The transatlantic or another?

      Deuteronomy 25:18 How he met thee: and slew the hindmost of the army, who sat down, being weary, when thou wast spent with hunger and labour, and he feared not God.

      Deeds of the Amalek

        So amalek feared no God, and therefore it is OK to murder all the children in that kingdom?

        I do not believe in God, do you think it is ethical to murder my daughters?

            Nope, it was just meaningless. Their army attacked Israel army and they lost their rearguard. That’s called a battle. that, in no way shape or form justifies genocide or mass child murder.

            You are clearly proving my point, you are promoting a religion that kills children. Very “pro-life” of you.

              “A religion that kills children” this is the old testament, which Jesus fulfilled, which mostly does not apply to Catholicism

              Go ask Judaism, they still have it in full effect

                Yet, you keep defending the murder of children in that case.

                And if Jesus nullified the old testament, why yhe fuck are all Christians quoting it to harras and take the rights away from homosexuals?

                And now you are also bringing up amtisemitism. Wow

                nice seeing an honest Christian explaining non stop how shitty Christianity is.

                  I am not responsible for the actions of “all christians” nor is the church and not all christians

                    yet you do exactly what they did.

                    Forcing your beliefs unto others, casually justifying genocides, a hint of antisemitism, controlling women’s bodily autonomy…

                    There are no good Christians, there are some people who are good, despite being Christian. And if maybe chritians would actually listened to Jesus, the world would be a better place.

              they attacked Israel, not the military itself. They slaughtered children and did much worse deeds that we have a chance of not even knowing right now
