I’m not getting into a discussion with anyone who either doesn’t know basic historical facts or picks selective aspects from the past that correspond with their particular prejudices. You totally ignore the violent history of every other (religious) empire that ever existed. I pass.
You deny basic curren facts. What I do is view today from the viewpoint of today. Today Islam is the most violent religious empire in the world. The others like Russia, and China are political and ethnic. Iran is an Axis of Evil power today. Sorry you are so lost and confused.
Abuse, and condescension are the tools of people with very fixed opinions. Putin is influenced by the Orthodox Church, the USA is ssteadiky becoming a theocracy, as are Turkey and India. This is my final message as I know I’m wasting my time.
You were both abusive and condescending from the outset of our interaction. BTW, Putin owns and operates the Orthodox church. Most of the priests are FSB agents. Putin finds the Orthodox Church useful as a tool of social control.
I did. I can’t find anything abusive or condescending. If you can show anything I wrote that fits those descriptions put them in your reply. If you can show conclusively that I’ve been abusive and condescending I’ll apologise.
Pointing out that context matters in a discussion is abusive?
Go back and read yourself.
