Christianity allowed and enabled and benefited from colonialism, slave trade, countless genocides…

that verse is about the amalec, wayyyy before european colonialism
Its also the old testament which Jesus fulfilled so most of that doesnt apply to us anymore
Matthew 10:9 Do not possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your purses

So, God does command the killing of children, but you dismissed it because it was before God impregnated a married woman.
And then you dismissed all the children who died and forced into labor with the churches blessings.
And you end with a completely unrelated quote, yhea, then why is the Catholic Church sitting on countless gold and treasures?
Christianity is one of the most toxic religions in history. Used to prop up tyrants and control the population. and you absolutely refuse to acknowledge any of that. yet you use that to enforce your closeted views on others.

please research the Amalec and their deeds “With the churches blessings” sources
The Vatican is not “sitting on gold” for you, its just Gold but those are theological and ancient artifacts that they have to preserve. According to you, we should melt all the ancient coins from Rome to get silver?
“in history” not NOW tho, why would I burn a church NOW
and SOURCES CITE SOURCES

Tell me, what deeds did Amalek commit to warrant murdering their children?
Also, Christianity promoted and benefited from colonialism and slave trade isn’t a debatable topic, it’s settled history. en.wikipedia.org/…/Christianity_and_colonialism
You can be a Christian, as long as you do it without shoving your bullshit ideals down other people’s throats. Whenever I need something shoved down my throat I contact your husband.
