It used to be it’d get your ass killed if you were caught being a christian, fed to lions and shit. Being a christian was a fundamentally progressive thing, with risks. Those people meant it.
Then one day the emperor became christian, and it became conservative overnight. Just how you suck up to the boss. It’s been a weird mix of it all ever since, with too much of the bad.
It’s been critically infused with unignorable doses of violence and bigotry, which makes it…well, pretty much the same as everything else, really.
Please read it again and get back to me. God commits several genocides, usually for petty reasons (if any reason beyond “you deserve to have this land because I say so” is ever even mentioned).
Not even close.
