That's the thing. It's not enough that they're free to follow their religion, they need to force everyone else to follow it too.

Matthew 25:41
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels."
It's part of a parable, but if we disregard parables then "jesus' teachings" becomes a small pamphlet.
But I'd be keen to hear where jesus advocated for abolishing human hierarchy. Nothing comes to mind immediately outside Paul's letters.
-
the status of your child does not tell us whether or not you were a slave
-
this is just false. Foreign slaves were kept for life.
-
see 2
-
somw slaves having a "better life" than some free people is a common whitewashing tactic, which doesn't make it not slavery.
-
having restrictions against the cruelest and most injust masters does not mean it isn't slavery.
Hey man, maybe re-read my comment. It's not long.
I never said a single tool causes issues. I said abandoning existing tools to only use the new thing is a problem.
See people who want to only use the newest frameworks, to the point of re-building projects when they come out.
See people who fixate on a single design pattern and insist on using it in every application.
Jesus was an authoritarian. He believed there should be one being with ultimate power and control who everyone else should obey unquestioningly.
He believed that this being was better than every living person. That any person who disobeyed the ruler should be tortured. That we are only alive, only well, only happy, if the ruler permits it.
Relative to the US average. But the US is a very deeply religious nation compared to other developed nations.
