    That seems unlikely in mainstream, especially pre-protestant, Christianity. Typically festivals survived a culture turning Christian, but not the gods

      “unlikely” “typically”. Yeah, I’m not saying it was normal for christians to be tolerant of others, I’m saying it’s normal for them to CHOOSE to be exclusionary. Being put to death isn’t a proportional response, but it’s not that much worse than they deserved. Look what happened when we put the monotheists in charge and let them do whatever they wanted; the crusades and the genocides in the new world. Monotheism is dangerous and you need to stamp it out. With violence if necessary. There is such a thing as polytheistic christianity, and it is the only good form of it.

        Did you just call Christians exclusionary and then tried to justify executing monotheists… Which makes up like a quarter of the world’s population?

          No, I didn’t justify executing them, I mitigated it. I justified a more general call to violence against monotheists. Pay attention.

          Monotheism is a choice. It’s not an essential part of any belief system unless you count being a dick. It’s violent, and it deserves a proportional response.
