11. King Cyrus - early DEI advocate

Sep 27

Cyrus lived c. 600–530 BC, so I don't see how he could have liberated the Christians. He promoted tolerance of all people and religions, so I can't see the comparison to Trump.

All of this "God used a flawed tool" nonsense is just a sleazy and intellectually dishonest way to excuse for their support for a dangerous and damaged man.

"One of the fundamental rights granted by Cyrus was freedom of religion. In a time when religious intolerance was prevalent, Cyrus’ decree allowed people to freely practice their faith without fear of persecution or discrimination. This groundbreaking right laid the foundation for religious tolerance and diversity, setting an example for future civilizations and inspiring the protection of religious freedoms in subsequent periods."

"Recognizing the beauty and richness of diverse cultures, Cyrus championed respect for cultural diversity. His policies aimed to preserve and celebrate the different customs, languages, and traditions within his empire. By encouraging cultural exchange and mutual respect, Cyrus fostered an environment that promoted harmony among different communities and set a precedent for embracing cultural diversity in future societies."
