The illustrator, Dallas Clayton, writes children’s books but usually has profound insightful messages behind his works. His way of conveying good values in such simple amusing ways is amazing

Kill someone for disagreeing with your beliefs

We’re all looking at you, Islam.

And Christianity from 950-1350

“Yeah sure Islam is a global threat to all of us in 2016, but let’s not forget how Christianity fought back against Jihad hundreds of years ago.”

set-of-actions

And Christianity from 950-1350

I assume you’re talking about the Crusades? Or do you mean the CATHOLIC church? Because the crusades were actually a DEfensive reaction to middle eastern (turned out to be largely muslim) attacks against (largely Christian) travelers passing through the area. Knights, etc., who didn’t have much to do went over there to defend them.

What the Catholic church did, killing people who tried to spread the Bible into the hands of the public in order to retain its financial hold over the sould of its constituents, was unforgivable, but it was NOT representative of “Christianity” in general. That was basically a horribly corrupt governmental body acting horribly corrupt.

Or did you mean something else?

Why is it they have to go back a thousand years to try to dig up some sort of dirt on Christianity that’s comparable to Islam today (and then fail at that)? Like do they not realize that actually paints Islam in an even worse light?

This is so important – we can’t compare trauma experiences, it is all valid. Even two people who go through the same trauma can react differently.

Now this is a metaphor I get.

this idea that a candidates rude style disqualifies him from someone’s support, but the actual crimes of candidates (whether Trump’s eminent domain thefts or Clinton’s war crimes et al) aren’t disqualifying is the same kind of gross bumper sticker politics which has helped to whitewash so many crimes of politicians and to legitimize people who are at base scoundrels

It never mattered how many women Bill Clinton raped or sexually harassed, because he had the “pro-choice” bumper sticker, so therefore he was “pro-woman”

it never mattered how many soldiers Bush II sent to their pointless deaths, because he had the “Support Our Troops” bumper sticker, so therefore he was “pro-troop”

and so on

(Basically, in America, actions do not matter, only words. Remember that Donald Sterling, for example, did not get drummed out of public life for his racial discrimination or his sexual harassment, because these were mere actions, and therefore don’t matter; he was only drummed out after he was caught saying mean words.)

In America, actual crimes aren’t even newsworthy, but thoughtcrimes? Crimethink is the unforgivable sin of American life.
