    CUBA??? Where 30% of the country, including Fidel Castro, are Catholic? The country where there was insane repression against Christians during the Batista regime, repressions which Fidel ended? The country that allows all denominations to freely build religious sites?

    Also what violence against Christians is there in North Korea? They had one of the largest populations of Christians in Asia prior to the Korean War. To the point the country was called the “Jerusalem of the East”. Only during the war American soldiers slaughtered the majority of them in bombing attacks against churches since it was a guarantee that there would be high numbers of civilians in them.

      1. Communists are atheists, so they are the antichrist and definitely persecute us poor innocent westerners /s
      2. Well, you are expecting liberals to know history. That’s a big ask
      3. Actually, each point is projection if you think about it…

      My idea would be that both Cuba and the DPRK crack down on evangelical Christian sects. Because those usually are 1. Tools of US Imperialism 2. Money laundering enterprises

        Is this about the Western European diaspora practice to lied that a Communist government discriminated against a group when they are opposing a group of criminals?

      I would pin that more on the fault of the Church rather then the individual Christians. Historically the Catholic Church and Papacy. They were basically an Empire in their own right.

        Definitely historically the biggest offender, but even though it’s compelling to absolve others, it’s simply not true, even smaller denominations can do much evil, like the US evengelicans, and not to mention crazy heterodox cults which seems all to be more or less anchored in christianity. And i’m not even talking solely about the west, remember the South Vietnam or the Taiping Rebellion.

          Of course, though some of those things like evangelicals would probably happen with or without the church. It just gives those people a good excuse. But the Taiping Rebellion wasn’t really Christian based, as Hong Xiuquan with simply just extremely mentally ill and delusional.

            as Hong Xiuquan with simply just extremely mentally ill and delusional.

            It was still based on christianity. While he was certainly mentally unwell, we can’t be sure if it would play the same without christianity, if he was inspired by something else, he could go in entire other way.

      Like the so-called “Indian Residential Schools” which are slave camps in North America to enslave, torture, rape, murder, and steal the inheritance of children with at most three quarter European ancestry. There is the unethical experimentations that the Nazi German could later copied in their Holocaust, the misuse of funds from Indigenous landowners who thought that their enslaved children will occupy elite positions in European immigrant society, fake documents with fake signature to transfer family inheritance to free riding European immigrants, and impersonation of Metis children to steal the inheritance of the murdered Metis children. Furthermore, the fake school survivors receive so much savage indoctrination that their children and grandchildren do not understand the concept of family love.

    Christian Nationalist screeching once again… very familiar with this. Got family members who no joke advocate for mandatory prayer to the Christian god in public schools. Have to constantly call those same family members out every time they say shit about killing all the Muslims within just a breath or two after going on about some imaginary war on Xmas or what the fuck ever.

        Try telling Christian Nationalists that. If someone proposed allowing Muslims their daily periodic prayers throughout the day, my aunts would have heart palpitations while posting a few dozen stupid FB copypastas and messaging politician FBs and emails and all that while CCing the rest of the family in those emails.

            Apologies, it is “courtesy copy” in an email. So in the “To:” section of an email the sender puts the main intended recipient. In the “Cc:” section, a sender puts other email addresses that they want to be able to see and maybe interact with the email, even if they aren’t the main intended recipient.

            An example might be if, say a party treasurer is emailing an accountant about some invoice, but they want to make sure the party chairperson is aware of the conversation because maybe the chairperson is the one that requested the information about that invoice. The treasurer would Cc the chairperson so they can see whatever is said between the relevant people and thus stay informed.

        Not entirely true. While the head “God” is the same on the surface level, Jesus is worshiped as both the Son, and God himself by Christians. Hence "Christ"ianity. Something obviously not believed by Jews and Muslims.

          Only the Father is considered God tho. Jesus is firmly the Son (who’s also the other two), trinity weird as usual. Christiantiy outright uses the same names of God, when he is named, as judaism.

            They’re still treated as inseparable equals all of which are necessary components to all aspects of spirituality in Christianity. The Holy Spirit being the earthly force that brings people to Christ and bonds congregations closer, Christ the redeemer teacher and current spiritual warfare leader and future king of all creation who brings those to the Father, and the Father the creator and judge of all creation. Christians haven’t been unitarian in centuries

    Hmm i wonder why does basically all those countries are on the current or past anglo hit and colony list…

    Also bloody fuck those comments, second from the top is about Nicaraguan “dictator” heavily oppressing christians…

    Finally, something very true for christianity, “When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression." Actually, even without losing, for example polish catholic church screams about oppression everytime something won’t go 100% according to their will.

      The bit about Nicaragua is just bizarre, i have heard tons of liberals complain of the exact opposite, claiming that the Nicaraguan government is bad because it is too christian and socially conservative in its policies.

      Anti-communists cannot seem to make up their minds about anything except that socialist countries are bad. They are bad when too little religion and they are bad when too much religion. Parenti yet again proven right.

      They are, and have been for thousands of years, saying they aren’t can be a dangerous generalization. But definitely not in the vast majority of the countries listed. Mexico is 93% Christian, Cuba is 30% catholic, Columbia is majority Christian. This map is bogus.

          This map is bogus propaganda made by a far right US evangelical group. They basically made up random data and threw darts at a map. I suspect that because they are evangelical and Mexico is majority Catholic, that they despise that quite a bit.
