this forum is packed full of fanatical hate towards republicans and trump supporters as ALL being racist. pretty sure you are at the head of the pack but im too lazy to use the search feature.
I'm pretty sure you're crazy. If you, as an individual, support blaming and punishing a billion-plus people for the actions of a few thousand people because they all claim to follow the same religion, then yes, you, as an individual, are probably a bigot. That's just simple logic.
How would you like it if some self-labeled Christians committed some horrible crime, and then you, as a Christian, were held to blame for those crimes even if you took no part in said crimes and were appalled by them? You wouldn't like that, would you? But here you are, demanding it be done unto others.

"Whatsoever ye would that men do unto you, do even so unto them, for this is the law and the prophets." - Matthew 7:12
This passage guides my life. Hopefully, you'll find the faith someday to let it guide yours.

The way American conservatives go on about Muslims is like Libs comparing all Christians to this guy-

We wouldn't compare all Christians to the perpetrators of this crime against humanity, either-

We wouldn't stoop so low but the Followers of Trump, the Great Leader, obviously will.

Uhmm, isn't Christianity the only religion that celebrates Easter? Who would it be other than Christians? Do you not notice the irony in saying people are afraid of offending others these days and then freaking out when you think the victims were referred to by the slightly wrong word? This thread will serve as a great resource for the next time any conservative complains about PC culture or liberal snowflakes.

'THEY WERE ONLY REFERRED TO AS PEOPLE WORSHIPING CHRISTIANITY'S MOST SACRED HOLIDAY, NOT AS CHRISTIANS. BAWWWWWW.'

Because the Progressheviks play stupid word games and any comments made by them look like a cut-n-paste fest from the buzzword of the day memo.

AOC tweeted 14 times about the New Zealand attack, that was very useful to her. She's had zero tweets about the chrisitans killed in Sri Lanka by islamic terror, that isn't useful to her bartender leftist narrative.

She seems to have been hiding from Twitter over the weekend...could just be Twitters’ algorithm messing with me but I only see 3-4?tweets since Sunday—2 about her Netflix doc, one about climate change and one response to a question about a drag race?

Maybe she’s busy working and not tweeting...wouldn’t that be a refreshing if all our elected officials did the same?

Attacking Christians is a new thing in Ceylon, afaict. It's not the same sort of thing as their civil war between the Sinhalese Buddhist majority & the Tamil Muslim minority. That went on from 1983-2009 when the Tamils were subdued. It's a whole different kind of statement to the world rather than their traditional internal strife.
It's been going on longer than that. My ex in laws hosted a couple of Buddhists from Ceylon back around 1970, due to tensions. My ex still has a beautiful batik of an elephant parade. Their father was a prominent person, in charge of elephants.

What I've read is that she's pulling back on her social media presence because of all the death threats she's been getting from RWNJs.

359 people dead, mostly Christian, has me horrified.

This made me so sad to see such religious hatred on display. I can barely imagine the pain the families are going through.
