I recently started reading Separation of Church and Hate by John Fugelsang. I highly recommend it, especially if you aren’t religious. I saw the author on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and he convinced me to read it.

The book is about why Christian Nationalists are wrong. They’ve stolen Christianity from true Christians.

It gives you the tools and knowledge to debate those people by analyzing verse from the Bible more closely with the context to the era.

Some things you might not know that I learned:

• Jesus was a Palestinian.

• Paul never met Jesus. His books of the bible were actually letters he wrote to someone else about the scripture. His words about the scripture weren’t meant to be applied to his own letters.

• The Bible often contradicts itself. Sometimes, in the same book. Paul, for example, wrote that women should be submissive and never speak, but then he had a female deacon.
