I think Christianity is such an umbrella term at this point. It's like "GLBT". The only thing those four groups have in common is a common potential enemy; heteronormative oppressors. I see Christianity, overall, as a powerful multi-splintered cult.
There are always good people in cults. But the deeper you get into a cult, the more the insidious the "program" gets. Plus, there are always token good things that cults do. The missionaries always did plenty of good, but the agenda behind them is never obvious. I mean, we all know that the Vatican could feed the starving masses if they hocked their jewelry alone, and they won't. But you can't blame the people who were indoctrinated from birth. My grandmothers have no weird agenda.
And of course the priests are pedophiles. It's against the rules for them to get laid, and their eyes start to wander. It doesn't make it right, but it's not rocket science as to how they wound up that way. If they were healthy, viral, hetero men; what would they be doing signing up for a life like that in the first place? They must have been somewhat introverted and kinky to begin with.

If you get rid of religion, you won't have the God crazies to laugh at anymore.
Anti-religion is an anti-entertainment conspiracy.

That's very true. Robert Tilton is hands down one of the most entertaining performers I've ever seen. I wish it was easier to locate vids of him just speaking in tongues, but this is funny too. The thing about him is, you don't have to add sound effects to get some very over the top showmanship.

Hey! It's all about priorities.

Your priorities are flawed.
So u'd rather keep the religious multibillionaires that have cheated people outta money for centuries by killing innocent folks , outlawing inventions & progress telling people the earth was flat , didn't allow em to learn stuff etc..
Instead of removing em from power, outlawing their activities , nationalize their stolen stuff and give em back to the people from whom it was stolen from in the first place.

What's the difference? The billionaires of today have nothing to do with religion. Religion has been debunked & replaced with the theology of economics. We crusaded against the commugnostics & defeated them. Now the rift is between the 2 great monetary denominations of Keynesians & anti-Keynesians, with the demigod Adam Smith still sitting at the right hand of the almighty god-dollar.
It's always something. Why spend energy ranting & raving against something that's already irrelevant? Monarchy's all but gone. The last theocracies are on the way out in the next generation or 2. It's time to update the whining.

Keynes methods are highly fascist and promote mafioso methods such as intrest, Adam Smith? gimmie a break! this guys ideas are over 200 years old , im taking my chances with new shit such as Kim Il Sung's Juche thats much better and has proven itself to be quite solid against Kaynesism...
Religious lords and monarchs spend their loot into goverments and political monopoly companies to ensure the cooporate dictatorship US/EU...

What about it? It's a holdover from the Roman opulence. They're all out of clout. They're hanging onto some power in parts of the developing world, but they're on the decline. In the developed world, they're claiming gains in England. But the reality is that they aren't growing at all. They just aren't declining as fast as the Anglicans.
Even Keynes' formulas are closing in on the century mark. Adam Smith created the modern formulation of capitalism. Marx put his silliness together in the mid 19th century. I'm certainly not going to give a lot of credence to some Korean megalomaniac who created a military monarchy with warmed over Marxism & a bunch of doubletalk about self reliance in a lush country that can barely feed itself. As far as I'm concerned, they're all crackpots. It ain't about religion.
200 years? How about the last 10 millenia? Religion's just a control tool. One of many. It's not the source of the quest for control. Those on the quest use whatever tool is handy. The ideal is to break the bogus memes that are used justify the quest. Is there really a difference betwee those who would use superstition to control the society & those who would seek to stamp out such superstitions in favor of their own? Crusade all you want, but that just makes you another crusader.
