    I do. So?

    However, Christianity did rather set the agenda with the persecution of the Jews as they had been persecuted by the Christian church and Christian societies long before the Nazis came along. The Nazis merely utilised their own and other existing anti-Semitic tropes and slanders.

    As someone already addressed the obvious point of how you should similarly be grateful to not have been living in Germany in the 40s, being what you are.....
    Also be grateful you were not born in Saudi Arabia today. A lesbian like yourself could face capital punishment.

    I wonder if I can get her to say her example is worse -- a worse atrocity >:)

    Or, given that they put gays and lesbians in concentration camps as well, be thankful you aren't living just 70 years ago.

Where the speaker knows the difference between straw-man Pelagius and the real Pelagius, I need do no more than stipulate, "but not straw-man Pelagius." I have also been thought of as Arian, which, given that I acknowledge that Arius was not wrong on every point, is forgivable. That takes a bit more explaining.

    I'd also point out that for many Christians Pelagianism is deemed heretical.
    I'd also point out that for many christians, being a lesbian is an abomination, what's your point?
