In Early Christianity mostly, but often throughout history, the larger Christian sects violently destroyed 'heresies' and killed, raped, or exiled the 'heretics'. Sometimes they attacked jews and non-Christians, that it true, but they showed no reticence in eliminating other Christian sects that they disagreed with, despite ostensibly having more in common than not.If I'm reading this right - and doubtless it's suddenly going to get more nuanced once I point this out - does this mean Christianity is actually secretly controlled opposition to destroy Christianity to make way for jews which they only allegedly partially targeted and that the downfall of Christianity right now is actually the fault of the Catholic church for killing these heretics en masse long ago?The more informed and erudite of you will hopefully grasp what I'm getting at.
