Literally the opposite of what your comment says :)

Zuko from Avatar. Just… jet fuel for teenage me.

That’s absolutely not the case, you do a disservice to yourself if you don’t spend some time to learn more about the history of British aggression against other white people groups.

I think they assume Anglo-Australians separate their own ancestors from the British colonisers.

So do any countries exhibit what you call positive patriotism, or is this purely a theoretical objection?

Must be a fondness of non sequiturs

If god tells you anything, you have a serious mental illness.

Greenland. British penal colony.

Ok.

Depends on where you’re from.

So you don’t really pay attention to the rest of world history, huh.

Some esoteric definition of religion you’re using there mate. Most people see religions as a system of beliefs. A single belief wouldn’t qualify. Otherwise there would be millions of individual religions for every statement of belief.

The only religion they’ve mentioned is Judaism. Not sure if you wrongly consider atheism a religion or not.

That’s crazy. Jewish people at large are not responsible for the actions of the Israeli government. The diaspora has no power over the isreali government, and they have no say.

Which part of status quo did he oppose? Personal wealth, yes, but that tends to be a common cult leader position. That followers should give everything to the cause.

Other than that Jesus commanded to render unto ceaser what belongs to ceaser.

Matthew 25:41

“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels."

It’s part of a parable, but if we disregard parables then “jesus’ teachings” becomes a small pamphlet.

But I’d be keen to hear where jesus advocated for abolishing human hierarchy. Nothing comes to mind immediately outside Paul’s letters.

Jesus was an authoritarian. He believed there should be one being with ultimate power and control who everyone else should obey unquestioningly.

He believed that this being was better than every living person. That any person who disobeyed the ruler should be tortured. That we are only alive, only well, only happy, if the ruler permits it.
