I'll just leave this right here
They can both fuck off
They are both standing on their vanquished enemies
Yeah so turns out, lots of major religions stand on or once stood on “kill the enemies of our beliefs”
Maybe it’s time we put down the fucking tomes and pick up the pens.
I get what you're saying. We should start our own cult. ~One with hookers and blackjack.~
You know what? Forget the blackjack.
There is still the refractory period to consider.
And kill our enemies?
Do what you will, unless it stops me or my friends from doing what they wanna do 💜
I love how "economy" is the very base of the Christian's power here, lmao
I bet their Jesus guy would've loved that
The Christian "dark ages" quite literally didn't end until they reestablished normalised contact with the Muslim east, which GAVE them mathematics, advances in medicine and science.
In return, the Christian West crusaded...
Literally the opposite of what this idiot is claiming.
Lol pretty telling that there's no math book on the Christian side. Almost like they're aware and just acting in bad faith
The crusades, the Spanish inquisition, the dark ages, and more recently the Rwandian Genocide.
The KKK. Rev. Fred Phelps. America's speaker of the house. Shit even flat earthers are all Christians.
If it wasn't for the dark ages humanity would be 900 years more advanced.
Oh and let's not forget the Salem Witch Trials.
This makes me wonder how well the aztecs would have done if they had to interact with different religions
They interacted with Catholics and got genocided. As for other native faiths, I don't really know much but they were very much an empire and treated other peoples very poorly.
I mean something like if budists landed on their shores or similar
Guys didn't fuck around.

The mightiest culture has always held the weaker ones down.
There is some misconceptions flying around that indigenous people have been one with natur and lived in peace. Never happened.
I remember reading a book on the Astec empire and its fall by the spanish was a sum of perfectly aligned random events, based on their system of beliefs. They could have resisted the invasion and records by spanish soldiers of the time on how the astecs were fierce and fearless warriors exist.
The astecs just stopped resisting at some point and either got assimilated or slaughtered and their civilization wiped out.
I thought the books represented the ideas that Christianity has killed (or tried to anyway). 🤷🏻♂️
I think it represents what they "appropriated" from other cultures, including middle eastern ones
Christians are so dumb and it’s been their entire existence unfortunately. They helped the Roman Empire crumble, their half of it devolved into the Dark Ages for a long time and when it got too much the worst ones moved to America and that’s how we got Trump.
Least racist swede.
Sweden is very non religious.
History?? Like Islam has no history? Has not contributed to humanity at all? Omg… And Christianity must be standing on the wrong side of that book...
Just comparing their kill lists.
why dont they chose peace?
Like the satanic temple
Unfortunately, it seems like TST is mostly self promotion out front and shittiness behind the scenes, they just have a shorter history. I wish we had an org that was what TST claims to be.

What if someone can't eat gluten? Are they still accepted with their rice/corn noodles?
Why are the book titles in different languages??
Edit: misinterpreted your question. Not sure why.
Technology and science, please. Open a history book...
This hymn gets sung quite a bit in churches:
"Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to war. Christ the royal master leads against the foe. Forward into battle, see his banners go"
And they don't mean it ironically. Or metaphorically.
I’m so fucking embarrassed to have ever been Christian. I’m glad I turned 18 and grew out of it, but… man.
Well .. the bottom book is where all the skulls are compressed (among other things).
All the wars, spreading the religion, & political consequences are in that book.
They both have the same book (everything does). War is for profit, regardless of the title. If there would be no economical gain, no actual wars get started.
