  • Completely eyeballed it but I included every Western imperialist project that was done with Bible in hand and chanting variations of “Deus Vult”, so that’s large chunks of Asia, most of Africa, all of Latin America, and every Western incursion on West Asia from the Crusades to Iran today. And let’s not forget the pagan persecution in the West itself by the Romans. That’s a shit ton of people through the ages, right?

    Jesus, by far. The people who have been murdered in his name is probably close to or over a good billion, right?

    He’s not really a “foundational figure of Christianity” though, his image was just co-opted by the Roman empire which then created the religion also co-opting the actual “Jewish revival” Jesus was at the core of (bringing the fundamentals of monotheism back into mind and expanding the teachings to everyone, not just a small select community).



  • Recognising you have a problem is the first and biggest step IMO. Even outside of the realm of mental health, really: the difference between a moral person and an amoral one is often simply the recognition/blindness to objective/unarguable rights and wrongs. Once you recognise that, the change usually comes by itself (and if the brain isn’t cooperating, there’s medication for that!), but you gotta want it. In the case of morals, you have to be proud enough that you won’t allow yourself to be a lesser man/woman, or pious enough not to warrant God’s hatred, or both.
