    I’m forever sickened by what the rich have done to the Christian faith, and how they’ve systematically and very intentionally destroyed literacy. (Not just of the Bible, either…)

    They did so because “radical Christianity” used to be extremely antithetical to sociopathic capitalist ideals, so they hit it hard and early in this country’s history.

    If a majority of people who identified as “christian” actually behaved as such, we’d be in a vastly better timeline. Radical Christians would be making their communities resistant to ICE, famine, drouts, and whatever other stupid disasters we’ve been dealing with.

    Developing non lethal protection is one thing, but implements to help the State to do what they’ve been doing? Disgusting. Beyond measure.

      Christianity got coopted by the rich when the roman emperor converted, organizing the religion to their needs.

      It’s nothing new.
