>Are you professing that we should pass on everyone that doesn't have a perfect record?

This is the entire focus of western American Christianity. The pervasiveness of this is built into our culture, and as a result the world culture (because we exported this insanity)

So what you get is a worldwide society of people who will use any human failing of a leader as proof of why all of what they did is wrong.

Pillaging Christians starting with the Inquisition created a perfect reference person for which everyone should be compared to which makes everyone not good enough ever. Only through the weekly blessing that you have to attend and confess to can you be temporarily saved from certain forever death

It's just so embedded into western culture that the source is not even recognized as the source.

> Pillaging Christians starting with the Inquisition

Not sure what that's supposed to mean. Strange spell-check error?

I'm not a Christian, but I think that Protestant purity culture is a likelier culprit than Catholicism. Claims of moral pollution and calls for banning don't come from the pulpit, but from an "enlightened" public that can "think for itself."
