little lutheranisms things

telling people that the way to be a good christian is to understand god through intellectual indepent study of the bible

THEN

when they follow your teaching and get like, their own ideas. just kill them. kill them all. who needs parish members anyway? honestly.

also kill people that don’t go to church, people of other faiths, kill people that looked at the priest weirdly. just. none of the catholic guilt thing, in swedish lutheranism it is obey or death

*the creepy stare of the historical swedish lutheran church who historically really were.... something else allright.*

#so the swedish lutheran church forbid all people of other faiths THAN protestant to even exist within swedens border #even though their were jewish people in sweden #and there were saami people who had not been forced converted #and there were roma people although they had been forced to move to finland #so it was never true that they reached the religious fantatism purity the lutheran swedish church wanted #and not everyone got killed #but lots of people did die #basically this is a part of their very antisemtic and anti-roma AND anti-sami racism thing #but also they were extremly harsh against their own christian subjects too #basically in the end everyone hated them and they needed to change #so they stopped all the execution thing #and also in 1950 we offfically got religious freedom #in 1995s babies born in sweden stopped being automacally written into the lutheran church #also the exacution thing they stopped with 200 years ago #but like historical swedish lutheran church was just awful #swedish lutheran church #swedish lutheran church history #cw antisemitism #cw anti-romani #cw christianity #swedish religion history #cw death talk #cw hate crimes
