Is it me or are liberals now routinely anti Christian and anti Semitic?

    generally speaking that is true. Japan picked it up from us after ww2 when we recreated the world in our Christian image. China just picked it up from us primarily as manifested by Republican capitalism. Do you understand?

    Sure - some monk in the 6th century or so started using a date he thought Jesus was born as a preferable beginning to a calendar than the founding of Rome or other calendars used at the time. The fact that it probably isn't when Jesus was born is pretty much irrelevant. We add leap days, etc., in order to keep the new year staying in the same place.

    That caught on among Christians.

    Muslims started their calendar when Muhammad was born, so that's two major calendars in use today. Their calendar is more lunar oriented. So, their calendar has 354 or 355 days. Thus the months precess, so there isn't a one to one mapping between Gregorian months and their months.

    Do you understand?

    Are you pretending that you haven't yet progressed to the point where you learn history?

    I just recognize that a post isn't the best way to teach someone world history.

    I'm sure it was not coincidental as you imply that Christian time replaced Roman time. People knew the world was a new place once love thy neighbor as thyself was the law of the land!

    I already know there are pretty much no conservatives in America today and almost no libertarians.

    The R party is the party of Trump.

    What does that teach YOU?

    lol.

    The Spanish Inquisition was the Catholic monarch Ferdinand's attempt to replace the Medieval Inquisition that was papal and to use his more local inquisition to move Catholicism back toward orthodoxy.

    This was before the protestant reformation, so the hundreds of years of the various inquisitions pretty much covered Christianity.

    dear, for 4th time if you think the Inquisition is Christianity tell us why or admit you are have trapped yourself.

    or tell us why the inquisition was more important than teaching billions the Great Commandment when theretofore the Colliseum Commandment was all people knew? Isn't thinking fun?

    Oh, please.

    The Medieval Inquisitions started in 1100 or so. There began a serious of inquisitions by then - the Episcopal Inquisition, the Roman Inquisition, the Spanish Inquisition, and probably a couple I've forgotten - and not in that order.

    And, let's not pretend things were particularly more friendly between the time the new calendar finally got accepted and the time the Christian torture reached a level where it got several permanent names in history.

    our subject is not whether you think there are conservatives or libertarians today but rather whether you have ever seen one have to run from a debate like you are trying to do by changing the subject,

    Please indicate what your point might be.

    So far, you're the one who fails at history while attempting to aggrandize your personal religious beliefs.

    so??? teaching billions the Great Commandment was far more important. 1+1=2

    does the liberal think Roman/Nazi Colliseum morality should have been continued and Rome was cool to kill conquer and enslave most of the world?

    time began with Christ, not by coincidence, but because it was the beginning of a new world on earth featuring a bold transition from Roman/Nazi morality to Christian morality. Now do you understand?>

    The Catholics of the time practiced a form of hatred so all consumingly criminal in nature that your idea of love can not even be discussed.

    what you mean is some of the leadership did while millions loved the Lord Jesus, prince of peace, who taught the great commandment.

    I don't see any substantial improvement from the way Romans treated humans to the way Christians tortured to death those who didn't believe in the pope.

    all consuming?? Did you ever read History fro the period? 37,000 monestaries all with responsibilities to their local communities, Ordinances of Justice wherein Church was helping state get organized along more peaceful lines, Concordat of Worms wherein Church and state struggled for influence. Seems you know nothing of Christian History and prefer the Roman /Nazi way!

    actually Roman/Nazi idea was to conquer and kill or enslave the entire world. Nazis did not have Coliseum values though. See why we say liberalism is based in pure ignorance. Your Marxist handlers would be proud of you!! Do you know why they really hated Jesus and brainwashed you to do the same???

    I haven't run from any subject.

    And, it is YOU who brought up your ridiculous political connections.

    And, I don't understand that.

    Somehow, you think religion is connected to politics. That's preposterous.

    And, if it WERE connected to politics, Christians would be liberals. There isn't anything about the Republican party that correlates with the teachings of Jesus. Help the poor regardless of who they are? The rich can't get into heaven? Tolerance of others? Objections to government? etc.
