Rustic I think we understand Rustic's false distinction just fine. I mean, I can see how established Religion could be thought separate from Christianity. How's that, though? You know Muslims took Christian Lands because they're Christian lands from 700 ad to 1500 ad and back at them. We took lands from the Indians that were "heathens" and no other reasoning was required. This is the Reconquista or the fall of the Byzanthines or the Crusades. We slaved Africans always in the name of religion and then looked back at it later without even mentioning this. They referred to them jokingly "Ethiopians" the ancient orthodox Kingdom, only existand one in Africa, or maybe the Coptic Pope in Egypt. Well aren't the first Apostles 'built a Church' already in the Bible and met 'churches' in the letters of Paul. They mistakenly called Muslims Mohammadens would correspond to a God-Like savior, and the new term is because distinctly the "last prophet" just hears from God.
Lol
Christianity is a faith certainly not an religion, Religion is man-made and a generic term... anyone could be religious at anything.
You do realize that blacks sold other blacks in Africa? And original slaveowners on this continent were American Indians, my ancestors.
And the Catholic Church in no way represents Christians, it represents Catholics and the Catholic Church only.
Islam is the most violent cult the planet has ever known, Millions of Muslims embrace it...
All you need to know about Muslims and their cult is this...
