That's the point of Christianity. It's literally a religion of "wait until God does something about it, don't fight back because he has a plan, have faith"
It's designed to prevent action. It's like AIDS but for spirituality
-
But its literally commanded by Jesus and his disciples that you don't fight back against those who would harm you. "Do good" to those who would do evil to you is an approximate. The core of this theology are verses like "vengeance is mine saith the Lord" and "turn the other cheek" etc. I know people would like to twist that into something else but the theology presupposes a destined universe where Jesus returns and judges everything and Christians are commanded to do good and spread the gospel and await Jesus coming judgement
-
Doesn't Christianity teach both submission by slaves to their masters, and to do good to those who would persecute you? Does it not also teach an eschatology where Jesus returns and handles business after an unstoppable prescribed series of events?
Im genuinely trying to engage this and not do any "gotcha stuff"
-
This leads me to another point of contention. That the Israelites are consistently commanded to genocide and benefit themselves, later gentile Christianz are commanded obedience, submission, and to wait. Polar opposites really. Seems a dichotomy of character

>terrify them for political ends
>Not terrorism
It's so glaringly obvious I have no idea how people miss it
