@jacklaridian @lednaBM ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ข: Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant.https://corpus.quran.com/translation.jsp?chapter=5&verse=82

@davidpmaurer @alison @lednaBM Yep, just like any other religious text. In the best case random hallucinations, in the worst case lies to exercise power.

@alison @lednaBM "[Celsus] next imagines that, โin worshipping him who,โ as ๐ฉ๐ฆ says, โwas taken prisoner and put to death, we are acting like the Getรฆ who worship Zamolxis, and the Cilicians who worship Mopsus, and the Acarnanians who pay divine honours to Amphilochus, and like the Thebans who do the same to Amphiaraus, and the Lebadians to Trophonius.โ Now in these instances we shall prove that he has compared us to the foregoing without good grounds."https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Origen

@rvinson @danimo @davidpmaurer @alison @lednaBM Considering how many of these conflicts play out, it might be closer to the truth to note that it's not so much the winner as the *survivor* that does the writing...

@JamesDRyan @danimo @davidpmaurer @alison @lednaBM "For when God forbids us to kill, He not only prohibits us from open violence, which is not even allowed by the public laws, but He warns us against the commission of those things which are esteemed lawful among men. Thus it will be neither lawful for a just man to engage in warfare."https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Christian_pacifism#History #Christian #Pacifism #War #Murder
