"the Catholic Church, which is in no way innocent as johnny rotten somewhat implies."

Got that right! Read "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" by Michael Baigent Richard Leigh and Henry Lincoln. Read the Wikipedia entry here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holy_Blood_and_the_Holy_Grail

The book in several editions is available for free here:

The followup book, "The Messianic Legacy", is also available for free here:

The third book in the series, "The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception", is also available for free here:

The book and the subsequent books by the authors have been lambasted as not being credible. Well, the conspiracy theory covered therein is not the important thing. What is important is the side issues of how the Catholic Church actually arose - Paul was a Roman double-agent, Jesus' own brother told Jesus' followers not to believe Paul, some of Jesus' followers swore to assassinate him. etc.

In short, the Catholic Church is just as fraudulent as the "Christian Zionists", the Jews, the Muslims, and pretty much any other religion (exceptions might be Buddhism and Taoism which are more properly called "spiritual philosophies"; even paganism and Wicca has more legitimacy.)

The amusing thing - if it didn't lead to such horrific actions as Gaza - is that the Palestinians are the descendants of the original Jews who converted centuries after the original Jews were driven out by the Romans. So a bunch of "fake Jews" who are really secular ideological fascists are persecuting the descendants of their actual ancestors. You can't make this up!

Original Zionists were just colonial land grabbers using a myth to justify their land grab. The so-called "Christian Zionists" are just morons. And there is no shortage of morons in the US - look how many voted for Trump - and Biden - and Clinton.

Confession: I often excerpt huge parts of your posts well beyond "fair use" standards. But I do this and add my own emphasis in hopes that more people will tune in to key points, which are never standalone observations but form a piece of the tapestry that makes sense of what we see happening all around us.
