This is why (I have several more historical reasons actually) I believe we need to ban missionaries and people that evangelize the Christian bible (or any religion for that matter).

Anyone who disagrees with this probably needs to self crit honestly.

I have lots of religious friends, I love them dearly.

But the fact of the matter is that religion has been a covert tool for organizations and governments to engage in disinformation and even information warfare in the past. It still is used today.

How missionaries in Africa spread the myth that aids is spread through gay sex and did the opposite of promoting protection during sex.

It's gotten people killed and ruined lives

But have you considered that's just extremist Christianity and not representative of mainstream Christianity? Checkmate atheists.

In another thread I ran into this nonsense and instead of doing the self crit, the other person accused me of being a bad faith bigot and went whining to the mods.

Like I'm directly quoting the most famous sermon Jesus ever gave and that's supposed to be an outlier? These are mainstream opinions held by the majority of the faithful.
