often a pretty baleful one, like the oppression of women, slavery, witch hunts, crusades, the Inquisition, executions for heresy...
None of those things is promoted in the Bible, that came along withn the RCC and the fall of Rome. The NT is pretty clear about what the duties of followers are.
Jas:2:8:
If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself,
ye do well:
Jas:2:9:
But if ye have respect to persons,
ye commit sin,
and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
Jas:2:10:
For whosoever shall keep the whole law,
and yet offend in one point,
he is guilty of all.
Jas:2:11:
For he that said,
Do not commit adultery,
said also,
Do not kill.
Now if thou commit no adultery,
yet if thou kill,
thou art become a transgressor of the law.
Jas:2:15:
If a brother or sister be naked,
and destitute of daily food,
Jas:2:16:
And one of you say unto them,
Depart in peace,
be ye warmed and filled;
notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
Jas:2:17:
Even so faith,
if it hath not works,
is dead,
being alone
I can't think of any current nation that wouldn't welcome a citizen who lived by these rules. Somewhat iron that it is called the royal law when the royal all across Europe were the ones did not follow any of it, supported by what passed for a Church back then.
I don't "brag", I mention that I consider myself a Catholic. The only one that can tell me I'm not, is God. No man can tell me I am wrong in my thoughts. Not you, not dexter, not my local Priest, and not his Holiness the Pope. Only God.
The bible that you keep quoting, continually, was written by man. It is SAID that it was written under Gods guidance, but then, it was men that said that. I will take what I have been told and shown in personal revelation over your or any one elses interpretation of a book written by men.
Seriously, who gives a **** what you do or don't do?

I keep forgetting that men knew the area that dry land covered on the earth back in 100AD.
Re:6:8:
And I looked,
and behold a pale horse:
and his name that sat on him was Death,
and Hell followed with him.
And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth,
to kill with sword,
and with hunger,
and with death,
and with the beasts of the earth.
Jer:25:26:
And all the kings of the north,
far and near,
one with another,
and
all the kingdoms of the world,
which are upon the face of the earth:
and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
