the entire blaming Abrahamic religions for extravagant capitalism is just a cop-out.

Explain why it says "in god we trust" on our money.

Yeah, atheism didn't reduce the number of wars, and if we all had interracial marriages to the point of having the same skin color, then wars would still exist.

I'm ready to admit i'm wrong and that christianism is a death cult, but where's @dropdrip's argument ?
To me, the Gospels are on the contrary a life cult, and my sources could be numerous, if it counts to quote them :
John 10:10 : « I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. »(, i believe that they meant life in at least one other meaning than life after death, which is that we didn't really lived until being christians, since our lives were devoid of meaning, we were always in search for more, it's linked with whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again, i could/should develop)
There are dozens, but Mark 12:27 « He is not the God of the dead, but of the living »
I don't think there's a point in developing without understanding what they meant by "death cults"

(What i meant by « christians weren’t in control of the government » is that clergy-wo.men weren't the queens/kings, and could only hope to have their advices accepted(, with the exception of papal states))

And yeah, as you said before about Barack Obama : in the single year of 2016, he dropped nearly 30,000 bombs(, « This estimate is undoubtedly low »,) on Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan

B.t.w., he never received any congressional authorization(, relying on the Authorization for Use of Military Force of 2001 and 2002) :

Of these 7 countries, it's worth repeating that Lybia was the most prosperous country in Africa, he made it a failed state with slave markets.
But there are also suspicions that he participated in the coups in Egypt(, he at least openly supported al-Sissi), Honduras(, at least we know that he recognised the post-coup elections), and perhaps even Thailand according to some people(, the usual suspicion when a leftist/populist government is overthrown by an authoritarian conservative/royalist one). As usual, covert actions are kept secret, but it's not as if anything would change if a proof emerged.

As for Joe Biden the pacifist, beyond being called "Genocide Joe" and vetoing UN resolutions calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, he has my eternal thanks for Julian Assange.
However, he's an american president, so he ordered airstrikes in Syria a month after taking office, because we(sterners) have the duty of killing the bad guys, and who cares if these bad guys pretend to be good guys, what matters is to prevent them from speaking(, that's terrorism apologia). You cannot solve a problem if you cannot talk about it.
He also conducted airstrikes in Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, and Afghanistan, because the empire does what empires do. It would only be scandalous if China did it, or Cuba, or Venezuela, or ...
We're not talking about one month, but from 2021 to 2024, his whole presidency.
Like Barack Obama, he didn't obtain congressional approval, relying like him on the Authorization for Use of Military Force of 2001 and 2002
It goes without saying that he increased sanctions against Russia, Iran, China, Venezuela, etc.

There, i said it for the n-th time : the US is the n°1 terrorist state on Earth. But what's the point ? Even if all the journalists of the world knew that, why would they care ?
I would add that it's been many years since i've learned, progressively, about our biggest lie justifying every single one of our crimes, that these countries are authoritarian, and we ought to save their brainwashed population.
Afterwards, it's already been a few years since i've realized that even if that was true, and even if these countries were threatening us, then our argument would not hold, because we could be united in diversity, ensuring the security of everyone(, e.g. through a world army against overt actions and a world tribunal against covert ones, to simplify). And whether my solutions are right or not doesn't matter, since i would only ask these "leaders" to seek the mechanisms ensuring 'lasting peace'/'security for all'. I am forced to realize that we(sterners) do not care about even pretending to seek such mechanisms.
We(sterners) could invade any country, and are getting lazier and lazier with our justifications, because there's no need, we'll just do as we want, but yeah, sure, let me write words on the internet, that will teach them(, and it's not as if i'd be aware of their counter-arguments).
The cause of Iran and other anti-zionists is legitimate : we(sterners) are responsible for the presence of a state in their(/'one of their two') heart.s, if it's about giving a state to Israel then we should give it on our lands instead of forcing non-westerners to bear the cost ; and if it's about achieving what the Crusades failed to do, then we should give them something that they will all agree is worth exchanging for the Holy Lands(, or other solutions). You know, like civilized persons.

Anyway, thank you if you read all that, and for everything you've been doing for Lemmy these last years.
