And preaching hatred. They are one and the same.

Even the most cursory reading of their history makes it clear that they have been, if not the most prolific purveyors of hate, then definitely among the worst.

They were the ones who mass-murdered pagans across Europe.

They were the ones who said it was okay to torment and murder Cathars--including burning them alive in one of their own churches.

They were the ones who tortured and murdered women who weren't submissive enough, and fought tooth and nail against any measures that treated them like they were human. Still do.

They were the ones who set off the Atlantic slave trade with papal bulls, and used their book to support slavery for centuries.

They have gleefully tormented and mass-murdered Jews ever since their formation. That includes the Holocaust, by the way. It never would have happened without the cult spewing insane vitriol about Jews, going back to its founder. Surely you know that the Nazis followed the advice of Martin Luther--a founder of Protestantism and the German Lutheran church--for how to deal with the Jews, to the letter.

For pity's sake, they canonized a psychopath who murdered his own wife and had his son executed. See: "Saint" Constantine.

The only thing they love more than hate is power, and the acquisition of it. They've only proved that ever since their founding.
