Insane take.
> Christianity has had 2000 years and reformations to knock off the rough, anti-social edges. Religious doctrine has been tempered with social controls and moral codes that largely (though not completely) prevent demonizing your enemies.
Funny that you then effortlessly go on to demonize your "enemies":
> Far left ideologies have a century of murdering tens of millions of people that didn’t agree with them or in some cases just didn’t cheer loudly enough.
Ah yes, because climate activists, reproductive rights activists, and hell, let's throw in feminists as well, are all authoritarian Stalinists, right?
> When it comes to not murdering me or putting me in re-education camps, I trust devout Christians way more than I trust climate activists or gun control advocates or (insert advocate for secular left position here).
This is incomprehensibly insane. I don't even know how to formulate a response to this.
