    History is filled with examples of the righteous being defeated by the wicked.

    Christ, being such an example

      As I recall…. Things didn’t work out well for Christ. Pretty sure the end score was:

      Wicked: 1

      Christ: 0

        That was literally my point. And is the entire point of Christianity

            Christianity actually changed some things in world history. Like more than a few.

            So a temporary loss by the righteous can eventually lead to a permanent victory. Which was very clearly my point. And is the point of the Bible - and is also the point of the religious history of the West

              So… your argument is to compare your incessant whining and selfish refusal to do what is necessarily to protect the lives and rights of others to…… checks notes

              ……Christians?

              Yeah. That tracks. You can have that argument. That definitely sums up both camps pretty well.

                  Riiiight. Well that’s new. I’ve never seen anyone “pretend to not understand written language” to get out a conversation before, but here we are moving new ground.

                  I suppose you’re not going to point out which part you’re having trouble understanding, are you?
