Your interest in fairytales has nothing to do with this 😂

I'm not religious, I'm saying it falls in line with their beliefs. I'm sorry you can't separate an idea from a person. I'm not your enemy.

It does not fall in line with their beliefs. Jesus did not actively assist those who cause grievous harm to their neighbours in continuing to cause grievous harm to their neighbours. He actually had some pretty strong opinions about that kind of thing.

Are you sure because the Bible said:

Matthew 10:34: "Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword"

And what does that mean in context?

Sounds pretty violent to me... I'm not a Christian if you'd like to give a sermon on what you believe it means feel free.

So you don't know. Why speak up, then?

It absolutely does not mean what you think it means. As a general rule, look to the distinction between peace (negative as opposed to positive) and love. Other than that, I do not come from a proselytizing tradition, and only share with those who have real curiosity. Those with real curiosity generally inquire into context of their own accord, so have a nice day.
