Were American Christians partly responsible for WWII? Anonymous 08/28/22 (Sun) 13:37:30 b4bfce No.351109

Ways That Are Dark: The Truth About China

It's an interesting book. Ralph wrote two full chapters talking about Christians. On page 180 and 181, he said something really interesting.

>… But American missionaries in China do not like the Japanese. They cannot be “sorry” for them. It is an interesting study in American character, in aspects of neuro-pathology, that we seldom like any one we cannot be sorry for. In the missionary mind, this tendency is accentuated.

>There is glory in martyrdom, in abasement. The Chinese give them a thorough abasing, and they are grateful. The Japanese, Teutonic in their brisk orderliness, sanitation and civic reliability, offer scant opportunities for martyrdom and personal humiliation. They are resented in consequence. …

If it's true, were American Christians partly responsible for WWII? Was it one of the reasons Americans were so hostile to Japan?

Does it also explain why the Germans were hated and the Jews were loved?

I believe Patton was right.

But Ralph's writings also make sense.

Not him, but I find this topic interesting, as I was raised in South-East Asia, have been watching the Chinese closely for more than half a century, and I do have an EPUB of that book.

Here it is, with 19 other various books regarding China from various viewpoints…

(digesting various viewpoints is always a strategy I recommend.)

ENJOY!

And yes, although I do think there were many circumstances that all added together at the time to make a "perfect storm" (kinda like now!), the premise that OP proposed has lot more credence than most historians are willing to give it, and that book is fantastic.

Reading is good. If more people did it more often (I mean actual reading!), then everybody would be capable of having more informed thought-processes, rather than just accepting the canned version on every topic, delivered from on high.

Also, Hi China!

These fuckers…

I have some, let me say delusion, not even an opinion, that Christianity if is not responsible for some problems, is at least the root or one of the roots of a lot of problems like leftism, socialism, illegal aliens, apologies for slavery, black lives matter, cancel culture, etc. Or Some Christian ideas are used to justify them.

And I know Jesus' followers may not have the courage to say it's true even if some of them see the same.

Jesus followers don't have an opinion on the matter. I think you are looking for the Roman State Religion.

That would be The Catholic Church aka The Jesuits.

We were warned over and over again.

We didn't listen and now we are getting fucked like crackwhores in a rat infested alley.
