Prager U, what the now confirmed rapist in chief supported, had an “educational” short about how Columbus was chill because he never killed the natives but enslaved them instead. It all connects back to Christianity.

Well, so are Islam and Judaism. It’s a common trait with Abrahamics

A lot of the world indoctrinated into christianity. I think you can protect your heart by not trusting people, but while still being kind to people when you are around them. Just because you are respectful and kind to someone, that doesn't mean that they are worthy of your trust.            

Christians have a long history of lying to convert people and of trying to.use violence to force their views on other people. Christians failed to gaslight Panare Indians into religious shame and self-hatred, so Christians wrote a new gospel which said that they (the Panare Indians) killed Jesus, and that the christian god would roast them in fire unless they become christian. They lied and were willing to write a fake gospel just to scare them and trick them into converting. One Panare Indian woman yelled out, "I don’t want to burn in the big fire. I love Jesus."

There are even forgeries in the bible. While Seven Epistles of Paul are said to be real, the others are said to be forgeries. Even The Second Epistle of Peter (2 Peter) which claims that they didn't believe in cleverly devised myths but were witnesses to Jesus, was also a forgery and not written by Peter.                       

I’m not a Christian other than the fact that I believe the ethics he practiced and taught were among the best ever. But I’d challenge this. Jesus is said to have died for EVERYONE’s sin. He taught the essence of the Tanakh was to love god and love others. Doing unto others as you would have them do unto you is fundamentally at odds with racism.

Put it behind you.

Just be grateful for all the things that make you happy in this life and enjoy them with the ones you love. Pay it forward if possible.

Happy Holidays

Dawg I just made a post kind of like this right now just what I was thinking also

Racist to who

First off, I'm sorry you've been going through a hard time in your relationships. I hope you know that your worth as a person is not determined by how others feel about you. Relationships come and go; nothing is permanent, and realizing this early can help you build resilience.

Within the context of your post, as someone who was born and raised in the Philippines, a nation in which Christianity is the predominant religion (except the south, which is predominantly Muslim), I need to inform you that despite the Spanish Empire using the Philippines as a way to be connected to Chinese Trading networks, Christianity wasn't forced upon us in the way that many western people think which is by the Sword.

Essentially, the various ethnic groups of the Philippines (e.g., Tagalogs, Bisaya, Ibanag, Kampamangans, etc) practiced multiple forms of paganism that were already highly syncretic and flexible. Religion wasn’t centralized, scripture-based, or rigid in the way Christianity or Islam is. Because of that, conversion often happened through gradual accommodation rather than outright violence. Spanish missionaries learned local languages, rebranded existing rituals and deities into Catholic forms, and tied conversion to trade, protection, and access to colonial institutions rather than mass forced conversions at swordpoint. However, that doesn’t mean colonization was benign or moral, but it’s more complicated than the simplified “convert or die” narrative people often assume. In addition, Filipino Catholicism is pretty different from the kind of Catholicism you usually see in the West. Many of the practices are intensely local and intertwined with older, precolonial traditions. Many rituals, devotions, and festivals that exist today have roots in earlier pagan practices and were later adapted into a Christian framework.

Very true!

I feel like exposing her lies even at the cost of legal action bcuz it better to live with truth out rather than me protecting her with my silence.

What kind of legal action? I'm sorry you felt this girl lied to you but there's nothing illegal about what I'm reading in your post 

It’s also obviously sexist. Basically it’s all about oppressing vulnerable groups.

Fundamentally prejudiced and xenophobic, but not exactly "racist."

It IS inherently anti-Jewish thanks to the New Testament, as counterintuitive as it seems.

Basically, Romans couldn't be directly blamed in the NT for fear of Roman authority. So they blamed non-believing Jews most in the NT.

Those also happened to be the same people who largely rejected Jesus, because they actually knew the Hebrew Bible (OT), unlike Christians who could barely read the greek Septuagint.

That anti-Jewish sentiment in the Bible carried on to many atrocities in Europe, including a German populus with prejudice toward Jews, leading to susceptibility to Nazi ideals.

I mean, most of what you said actually has very little to do with Christianity specifically.

That Christianity went along with colonizing does not mean Christianity was the REASON for colonizing. Just because Christianity mentions slavery does not mean it was the REASON for chattel slavery in the US. Just because Christianity was part of Western culture does not mean that it was the REASON westerners felt superior to everyone else. That it was used in some way as justification for these various things is an after-thought. It was a "We are doing it anyway, so lets find reasons to feel better about it" kind of thing. Blaming the religion itself for those actions is putting the cart before the horse.

All of these things would have happened just the same no matter what the dominant religion of the time had been.
