    Christians are immune to irony.

      • Reads “thou shalt not kill” commandment.

      • Declares holy war on indigenous people.

      This goes beyond irony blindness, this is straight cherry picking for convenience.

        The commandment is actually “you shall not murder”. There’s a distinct difference between killing and murdering; murder can be categorised as only a small subset of killing. I could be misled but I’m under the impression that to old testament era Jews killing a non-jew was never murder.

      They’re not immune to it. They’re just irony deficient. Their body can’t process it. It goes into violent spasms.
