'Couple of things I know. They believed in witches and thought the earth was flat. That's quite enough for me.
You said believed in witches. If only your past term was accurate.
That is how dumb and retarded some Christians still are.

Catholic Church law requires that every diocese has at least one specially-trained priest who can perform exorcisms. They still believe that stuff is real. Shucks....the whole tale is based on a ghost so why not?
They should get over that shit and give the money to needy and starving children. I think I read that more than 12,000 children die each day from malnutrition and starvation.
While a churches which are supposed to look to the poor spends lavishly on themselves.
God damned religions all.

I sympathize with your frustration over the apparent hypocrisy of established Christian churches; in fairness, we ought to concede that the radical teachings of that rabbi from the Galilee called Jesus didn't make it into the Roman Empire's official religion. It isn't just giving to the poor either. Think of Jesus' words about turning the other cheek or not worrying about tomorrow's food and clothing. No government has ever put that kind of extreme vision into its official documents and never will.
so true-----no government has imposed the "DEPRIVATION" upon itself that the
very standard teachings of Jesus seem to demand..... even the communists lived
it up whilst starving the people of the country side-------even MAO did so. It is
not entirely clear just how skimpy were the living conditions of Jesus, himself, back
then. -----poverty to the point of starvation was rife in those days. At the time of Jesus-----the people who did the socialistic thing lived out in desert communities----
not really accomplishing anything but LIVING a monastic style of life THEMSELVES. It is possible that John the Baptist came from such a community but I (no expert me---but....) see no evidence that Jesus was an ESSENE.
There is no evidence that the Jesus of the bible ever even existed and is not just an archetypal good man. Christianity destroyed the credibility of Jesus being real with their water walking and miracles.
I agree with your view of the governments but also include religions.
