Hot take:

The US has committed horrifying war crimes and crimes against humanity against Muslims and continues to do so.

And so does China

Its always fascinating to see the war between Nazis and Tankies fight over which imperial power is based, rather than demonstrating a working frontal lobe and damning both for their crimes.

And so does China

The only "evidence" of this comes from the empire and is demonstrably false

Someone once put together a book titled, "One Hundred Authors Against Einstein." Einstein dismissed the book with the quip, "Why one hundred? If I were really wrong, they'd only need one."

Sounds like a colossal reach at best, and pathetic cope at worst.

You understand the colossal differences between multiple independent journalists researching and reporting on the same topic, and a large organized group of pseudointellectuals trying to disprove a single person based on vibes alone, right?

You seem to be very desperately, and pathetically holding onto a form of fallacy of composition:

No, I'm simply calling out a lazy gish gallop. It's the same in both cases.

How many sources are listed on the Wikipedia page for Christianity? If I accept your logic as valid, it seems I'll have to convert.
