Spanish Kings are Catholics, so they still get the blame. And I will state the same thing I have always said: Catholics like you who are always acting so smug and superior are disgusting creatures that don’t deserve respect and human decency. So if you subhuman scum are gonna cry out about being...

Yeah, because in your right, white minds, we colored people are just a bunch of uneducated, dumb savages that can only be used for menial labour. I do agree however, that this is indeed getting out of control. What I am actually accusing ATP and possibly the Catholic majority here, is of...

How many trade depots do the monks own and control? How many banks do the monks own? How many monks are employed as bankers, industrialists, entrepreneurs, and traders? And most important, how many factories do the monks own? NONE whatsoever. As I said, the monks taught the natives how to work...

And which faction in the US backed the government forces? None other than the KKK.

And the US has a vested interest in not wanting to border a theocratic shithole, so what? Like I said, if Spain spent less time forcing the natives of the New World and my own country to recite hymns from prayer books and spent more time making their colonies profitable in the long run, albeit...

There's also the question of why is there an opposition to such reforms, and why is there a support for reforms as well. Basically, when you think of the Protestant Reformation, we could compare it to a start up company that's in its infancy and needed time and purpose to develop into a...

The kind of learning regarding commerce and finance would have been done in the early stages of the colonial period. The colonial powers would have at least taught the natives the basics of finance and commerce instead of repeating songs from prayer books, and their situation would at least...

Didn't they also have a thing with indulgences? I would be resentful of the Church getting involved in State affairs if I was a European king, tbh. Even if that was the case within the Catholic Church, you'd still have reactionaries within the Papal clergy that would have opposed such...

And the current Catholic system is any better? And yet, that didn't translate into the creation of merchants and wealthy nobles, so yeah. Church was already grabbing money from the faithful through tithes and taxes. What's your point? And I will always reiterate this once again: there are no...

The Protestant Reformation had to be done, as the Catholic Church shot itself in the foot with the execution of Savonarola, as he could have actually tried to reform the Church from within, with his talk of renewing Christian culture and whatnot. Unfortunately, he was going up against one of the...

So let me get this straight: if the West would have its own Caesar like figure, does this mean that their Eastern counterparts would be either the new Parthia, or the new Mongol Empire?

I actually did study with JWs at one point, but never converted mostly because I didn't want that kind of strict lifestyle. Amusingly, what snapped my mind out of the whole become a JW was my initial foray into Islam. Those magazines aren't scriptures, but they have articles that are written...

Jehovah's Witnesses have the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, plus the magazines that they often hand out at various places. There are other kinds of strands of Christianity that would have been declared as heresy alongside Arianism, such as Marcionism and its other Gnostic...
