S01E53 Shmadvent 3 - Christian Joy Comes with a Body Count
Welcome to Episode 3 of ADVENT SHMADVENT, where The Mighty Philbert takes the pink Shepherd’s Candle of Joy and holds it up against the real, documented history of Christian power.
This week’s Shmadvent candle is:
🔥 The Tyranny Candle —
lit in remembrance of the violence, oppression, forced conversions, and authoritarian control carried out in the name of Jesus for centuries.
In this episode, we examine:
• How illiteracy allowed church leaders to control Scripture
• Why the Catholic Church banned common people from reading the Bible
• The indulgence scam that sparked the Protestant Reformation
• The Crusades and the myth of “holy war”
• The Spanish Inquisition and religious torture
• Pagan persecution under Christian emperors
• Forced conversion and cultural erasure in the Americas
• Why “Christian joy” didn’t feel joyful to its victims
This is not anti-Christian propaganda — it’s history.
If Christianity truly brought joy to the world, we have to ask an uncomfortable question:
Joy for whom?
