Not "originally." "Originally" it was a Jewish sect, akin to a cult. And even what you are referring to is still what it is today. Nothing "original" about it.

Every society and religion builds "fancy buildings."

As I've told you before: you need to learn to look simple things up for yourself.

Francis of Assisi. Simple. Don;t even need to look.

Eastern religions are not free of blame, lol. Not even close. Shinto and Hindu? Warlike, and lots of atrocities. Buddism? Prominent monks in southeast Asia even now are advocating the death of Muslims.

And that's to say nothing of what those groups say about racism and homophobia. Worse than a lot of Christians.

People can use just about anything to "justify" being racist or otherwise bigoted. Them quoting the bible is irrelevant.

I am, in fact, not. You, however, are making it like the religion advocates such things, and is bad. Not even remotely true.

People follow those concepts all the time, even if they are bad at it. It is wrong to say that it espouses bigoted views, because that simply is not true. And even if it said things at some point, it was still better than the norm.
