So the crusades are "revisionist history"?
Or you gonna act like it had nothing to do with religion? Obviously there were political factors too, but you're in denial if you can't see that religion was the major justification here. Religion is a GREAT way to control poor/uneducated people.
The Christian Crusades happened because they didn't wanna be under brown control and influences and they didn't appreciate black and brown people bringing them from barbarism to humanity. The religion was Used to kill Natives, enslave others.... but the 'premise' of a religion being violent is simpleminded.
And yea Religion is a effective way to control the
masses. Your statement alone shows a lack on understanding friend. Let's exam it......
Religion is a GREAT way to control poor/uneducated people I think you mean 'effective'.. you can't use 'Great' because it's implying something good when we are talking about something negative. It's like saying cutting a throat is a Great way to kill your children. Religion is only effective when the concepts and ideas are manipulated.
and "control poor/uneducated people. "
Many people who are religious aren't poor... and many religious extremist differently aren't poor and uneducated. What's considered uneducated - most high school graduates are religious.. many atheist are socially deviant drop outs. If you have a regular moderate mosque goer in the Mid East - they more than likely are poor/undeducated. If someone is planning a terror attack - the usually aren't poor/uneducated because you have to have some knowledge about politics, history, and situations in order to be motivated to do something like that.
People use whatever is convenient to use. It's not like mass atrocities 'haven't' been justified by other means.. those empires and nations were just as effective without religion. I guess religion brought about WW2? I guess the masses in Russia right now are controlled by religion. That idea is the equivalent of saying that all the problems in the world are cuz of CAC. It's classicism and power 100% of the time, any concept can be used. Nepolean was effective and North Korean people are under good control - I guess because they are Baptist???
Revisionist history is putting everything on the back on religion like I said it is. We say it controls the poor and say .... but of course politics are involved. No--- politics are involved that create the oppressed, undereducated, and poor.... then there's religion.
