they think the Co-Prosperity Sphere was Japan’s attempt to stop Trans Satanic cults from spreading across the Pacific, and OOP loves Imperial Japan.

    I was regretably one of them. Christianity was rightfully despised as a tool of control for colonial drug cartels. Sun Yat Sen’s own brother was disgusted by him being baptized. Being sort of but not really religious has always been common in China. Openly claiming that he wanted to Christianize China would trigger revulsion from the vast majority of the population even in the modern day, let alone the 1900s.

    call oneself a Confucian and a Christian

    Confucianism is not a religion.

        How much opium did you peddle as a Chinese Christian?

        Fuck off debate pervert. I’m not interested in whatever half assed attempt at a comeback this is.

        When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said ‘Let us pray.’ We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land. Desmond Tutu

        Christianity’s main purpose being the justification of western colonial control isn’t exactly some obscure lore.

          My guy, you want to come in here and pretend Christianity = Drug Dealer, then get offended when I ask the price of a dime bag?

          Who is the debate bro?

          Again, go back and revisit the Taiping Rebellion.

            What are the Opium wars? Christianity in that era was spread directly as a consequence of concessions from the Opium wars. The goal of Christian missionaries, as is all other places, is to pacify the local population, surpress local culture and justify continued colonial occupation, and in extreme cases slavery and extermination. In the lead up to the Boxer Rebellion Christian missionaries were granted extralegality and went so far as to go on serial rapes unpunished, and that’s just the stuff natopedia admits to. This same religion continues to commit systemic abuse of children with its priests. This is the legacy of Christianity throughout the world and your half-assed attempts at comebacks won’t change anything.

            Roberts refused to baptize him and later stated that Hong’s followers were “bent on making their burlesque religious pretensions serve their political purpose”

            Geez, I wonder why any version of Christianity that doesn’t prostrate itself to the west (Taiping, Unification Church) is immediately labeled a cult and rejected from Christianity. Not Mormons though, Joseph Smith worshipers get to be Christian because Smith is white.
