" there are strains of Christianity that really like the "Romans fed us to the lions" stories."
" most tribes do this in one way or another. Not all, but a good fraction. That they defend those stories to the end, a"
Please, no, this is ridiculous. Neither Catholics nor mainstream Protestants do this. I'm sure it's real, somewhere in America, but it's not really a thing.
You're right, of course. This is not mainstream in any denomination. I should be clear about that.
It's a little like saying "Wahhabists are typically Sunnis". Well, yes, but most Sunnis are not Wahhabists.
Also, when I said "most tribes" I did not strictly have Christian denominations in mind. But rather all sorts of national identities, &etc. Lots of historical grievance on parade, left and right.
