This ought to be something extremely rare, indeed. Especially in the West.
Lol. I don't live in America or the UK, but more in a place that is much Eastern as western. You were talking about ancestors. Who's ancestors? What about all those Christain matyrs? What about Communism? Christians have been oppressed. Historical fact.
And you say it's rare. Why don't I just say that any Christians oppressing others is rare. I don't see it here, anyway. All I have seen is people bashing "fundies", literally even.
ok, simile:
If you have a Death Penalty for murder, you have it to PREVENT these people from killing again, do you understand? This does not mean that the ones carrying OUT the Death Penalty are also murderes. It means they are conducting the business of the goverment (people), whom have set out a law about killing people. This is not hypocrisy.
They set about killing people to stop people with some "bad idea" like drug trafficers and other muderers from killing many more. in effect, said govenments think just like you do. Not that you would technically kill them. But you would typically do to others what you don't want them to do to you.
In fact, the way you would plan to "stop them" would be worse; by forcing them, or oppressing them yourself. And that would not just be the governments and people you see as hypocrites, but everyone in the whole country, who have nothing to do with the ideas you hate so much.
People are deluded into thinking all Christans are bloodthristy and oppressive. What about all the ones you meet on the street? That little old lady who goes to church? What about anabaptists? What about jehovah's witnesses, who refused to do so much as bear arms? They are obviously not going to hurt anyone. And if you're going to go on about how Chritians bully other or oppress people, well, I have seen less of that and more people doing such things to religious people, enough to make me sick.
There is no "wrong idea". And, BTW, if you think wrong ideas should be stopped, well I can see how athiesm could be a wrong idea. I guess that means I should stop you from being an atheist. Lol. But I can't, because unlike you, I try my best not to go around saying "atheists are bad" although evidence keeps on staring me in the face to contradict it. There's probably nicer atheists somewhere. i have tried to be open minded. Pity people like you can't be. I guess I shouldn't be either, if the way you act is so right.
