Sunday

put forward by a very tiny minority of people who claim to be Christians. Why? Because Jesus is never quoted as sayin we should fight with others and make war on them. Such never were his supposed teachings, regardless of what version of scriptures you study.

Of course, that has never stopped some people who claim Christianity from promoting violence.

Pete Hegseth is one of those few who want to make Christ a violent warrior.

A pox on him.

Note: I am not a Christian. I am an atheist, after having met so very many so-called Christians.
