What happened 2,000+ years ago?

[krapp]

Christianity? It's been the engine of Western imperialism, colonization, native cultural erasure, slavery and genocide ever since Constantine.

[throwaway74432]

Where does Christ's teachings tell people to do those things?

[krapp]

Why are you asking me? Certainly, nothing about Christ's teachings stopped them.

[throwaway74432]

I'm asking you because you're the one who just laid the blame of the last 2000 years of bad things on Christ's teachings, and not on mankind's natural behavior. Somehow it was what Christ taught, because it didn't stop people from doing bad things.

[krapp]

I didn't lay the blame for anything on Christ's teachings, I laid the blame on Christianity.

If you can't look back at history and see the difference between theory and practice then I don't know what to tell you.

[throwaway74432]

Christianity is Christ's teachings, and any other definition is a strawman. What you're talking about is man's sinful nature, and that is separate.
