The worst anti-Semitic massacre in American history took place today.

but not the worst in Christian history. The prevalence of Christian hatred toward Jews (historical or present-day) is unlikely to ever get coverage or discussion in the mainstream media. Criticism of Christianity is rare in the USA.

Historically Christian hatred toward Jews has been vicious. But in the present day, until the massacre today anyway, most people aware of the historical record of Christian atrocities would have assumed that this Christian hatred was a thing of the past.

By claiming that christian violence is only an anamoly or a new phenomenon, you're conveniently ignoring centuries of christian hatred toward Jews, finally repudiated in the 1960s. Christian apologists try to gloss over a history of atrocities, many sanctioned by pope's decree.

What is necessary for blue voters is a thorough critique of the colonial religion. But a claim that the christian hardliners are not believers or not true Christians is a convenient after-the-fact "saving face" strategy. Another reworking of a few bad apples type of denialism.

It wasn't the roman empire that took over christianity it was christianity that took over the roman empire & christianized roman imagery. Your fundamentalist position of the original teachings being 'pure' & all the bad things since being 'not actual Christianity' is a copout.

To claim that Christianity has done no wrong in its history you conveniently assign blame for the bad things Christians have done to a 'corruption of christianity' - this is essentially a fundamentalist position, with ever more stringent demands for 'purity' or 'back to basics'.
