Well that doesn't seem very Christian...
irrational fear over something unverifiable taken to a degree of violent extremism? sounds like a fit to me.
The most outspoken Christians aren't very Christian usually, they just seem to like talking about it a lot. Christians who actually practice the religion are far less common.
What does "Christian" even mean in this context? Because Christ was a Jew and didn't seem to keen on anyone making a religion out of him if you read between the lines, or even the direct text in some cases...
I actually got beaten at CCD a long time ago by saying something like "wait Jesus says not to worship him here, so don't the jews kind of have a point"?
I meant it as literally following the teachings of Christ, which is something very few people who call themselves Christians actually do.
The most obnoxiously loud "Christians" would probably fucking hate Jesus for being a "dirty liberal" or "commie Jew" or some other inane nonsense because stuff like taking care of the poor and eschewing wealth are things that they have a really bizarre hatred for.
The crusades? The inquisition? Witch trials?
