Criminal Christianity

White nationalists know very little about the history of the religion of our parents. This summary of Demolish Them, a book by Vlassis Rassias (pic below) published in Greek and posted on Thulean Perspective, is just a taste of the flavour of what I plan to translate from Karlheinz Deschner’s Kriminalgeschichte des Christentums. Pay special attention how evil Christians, many of Semitic background, used the word ‘gentiles’ to refer to white advocates of Greco-Roman civilisation:
