Re: Crime and its punishment aren't the same thing
It truly is amazing how you condemn any catholic violence, but justify all protestant violence.
Tribalism.
​
It's the sort of thing that we criticize in primitive African tribes. Modern religions seem to have a more sophistemicated way of being primitively tribalistic.

Re: Crime and its punishment aren't the same thing
The RCC papacy seeks world dominance, Protestantism doesn't, this is not tribalism.
I disagree.
​
We have protestants repeatedly trying force their religion on others through legislation. We have protestants urging that the US go to war against Islam.
​
Yes, definitely seeking world domination.
​
But, of course, you were just defending your tribe.
