Typical of catholics, the inquisition cared less about what you believed and more about what you actually were. It was antisemitic because they knew jews opened the gates to toledo and generally just helped Muslims conquer Spain. Kinda like how jews helped Germany lose the world wars. Anyway, it isn't like Spain suddenly cared that jews rejected jesus...that was always known of course...and Kings generally felt it was useful to have subjects not constrained by Christian ethics.DeezerShoove » 08 Jul 2024, 7:48 pm » wrote: ↑ Maybe.
The Inquisition had a couple of things one should avoid though.
It's interesting to learn that black folks call white trash crackers. I thought cracker was a more general term for all whites.

"Try to get past your passionate ignorance and learn to accept what actually happened." ~ brown's unheeded words of wisdom Loving your enemy means there is no politics. The only philosophy consistent with that is anarchy. And I cannot see anything wrong with just taking everything from a person with a 'love your enemy' philosophy. If anyone preaches loving their enemy and they survive longer than a day, then they are just lying. At some point they decided to eat rather than give it to someone else. They made selfish decisions all day long to survive. Thus they are just lying.DeezerShoove » 08 Jul 2024, 9:40 pm » wrote: ↑ One thing about Christian ethics (perhaps many religions have this) is the "pray for your enemy" thing.
At some point you hate/fear them less. Theoretically.
That is beyond my conception of realistic...
...assuming you have rational reasons for your original hate/fear, that is.
