Intellectual mistake: US religions teach, "The world was made for man"
Should be: "Man was made for this world"
Perhaps we would take better care of it, if we realized that.
@rrogers @Tooden @wakame @bifouba @dpnash [mastodon.online] @yourautisticlife @EternalOutsider [mastodon.social] @ginsterbusch @autism101 @actuallyautistic not all denominations teach hate. Catholics “supposedly” the doctrine of Catholicism which comes from Rome. Lutherans came from Germany Presbyterians, Scotland, Episcopalians, basically CofE. What you are talking abt are right wing Christofacists, teaching racism & hate cloaked as religion. But they wouldn’t be here if European religions were all goodness, light & tolerance.
@rrogers @Tooden @wakame @bifouba @dpnash [mastodon.online] @yourautisticlife @EternalOutsider [mastodon.social] @ginsterbusch @autism101 @actuallyautistic I’m not really sure how this thread became an America bashing, but all European religions have taught for centuries the earth is for man’s dominion & use & most American relig are offshoots of those.
All of the major countries who are in power today have a history of violence, hatred, inherent racism atrocities, and theft that brought them to power. I had world hist. as well.

I don't think it is intended as America bashing.
It was more about "languages are weird", maybe me joking "but Jesus was American" made it pivot.
I think we all have stereotypical views of one thing or the other, and for most people it is likely easier to project certain things.
Like syphilis, which was named differently in each country, after the country where people assumed it came from.
