    a tiny tidbit of Christian-specific trivia?

    Bruh, the crusades was an extremely important event that occupied centuries of both European and Middle Eastern civilization’s history and we’re literally still dealing with the fallout on a global geopolitical scale…

    I remember when my decades old red state public education was considered shitty, but do people really think the fucking crusades was “a tiny tidbit of Christian-specific trivia”?

      You can argue the same for pretty much any major time period of history. Wars have been fought over the most trivial of causes. Women, minor insults, etc etc. You think this in particular is important because it’s relevant to your cultural upbringing. Why would I as an Asian care about it as more than another historical piece of trivia?

      Not all people equate the holy grail with the crusades.

      I just think they want to belittle the idea of a holy grail. As a non-believer an old trinket like that wouldn’t have much value.
