I’m speaking as someone born to people from a non-Abrahamic faith so I don’t know shit about fuck with regards to Christianity, I’m just going off my observations of my hometown and the world around me.

This is mostly anecdotal but I’ve heard Evangelical protestantism has made such in roads in Puerto Rico that I think a majority of the island might actually be Evangelical. I know this is pretty much the case throughout the rest of Latin America. This phenomenon coincides with the rightward shift of the entire region.

Not saying Catholicism is without its skeletons but as the world becomes more cruel, violent, and evil, I can’t help but draw a parallel. I remember reading about de las Casas in High School and the at times moderating influence of Catholicism in Spanish territories, whereas I can find no history of redeeming qualities in the Protestant faith, particularly evangelicism.

This is baby’s first attempt at analysis of Christian theology, so please bear in that mind. My brilliant insights into this are along the lines of ‘the Brazilian national football team is ass now because the players are no longer alcoholic womanizing Catholics’. I’m sure all you Evangelical freaks on hexbear dot net will be foaming at the mouth

1 the example given was a masacre that involved a marriage between European nobility. Who had just defeated the french crown. I wouldn't call them oppressed minorities any more than I would call peter thiel an oppressed minority.

2- most protestant princes converted because the church was a check on their power, they are no more oppressed minorities than libertarians.

3 false equivalence, the Zionists started it, they could be chilling in Germany but they decided to start a colony.

4- false equivalence both the protestants and Catholics were fairly even during the reformation, in a way the Zionists and Palestine are not.

5 I have 400 years of hindsight of seeing what the protestants have been up to, and frankly yhea, they are a problem.
