I am not so angry or vitriolic as suspicious. Suspicious that very early on the Jewish hierarchy in collusion with Roman government infiltrated the nascent Jewish Christianity and once they got headquarters to Rome it left Jesus behind except for his name. Various councils and codifications solidified the partnership of church and state after which the combined state and religion ruled with an iron fist.

True enough that the catholic church somewhat broke up but Martin Luther and the Anglican variations were pretty well true to their mother. Most nominally Christian churches today are lineal descendants of the Catholic church.

But there has always been a remnant.


Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Jesus: "Take heed that no man deceive you."
