Somwhere, the Jains are wondering who this Jewish carpenter was.

One of the many things that bugs me about wingut versions of Christianity is the idea that “Judeo-Christian” values are the only ones that teach peace, or have rules against theft or murder or adultery or perjury. It’s amazing that the Chinese or the Indians or the Incas were able to build such impressive civilizations when they were robbing and killing and raping each other non-stop without the word of Jesus or the 10 Commandments.

Apparently many of the British missionaries who went out to India during the Raj were profoundly shocked to find out that the Hindus, etc. had perfectly good moral beliefs and a functioning society without Christianity.
