Human gullibility in action

By your math Christianity would have only killed 1,000,000 in its entire history (500/year average x 2000 years). You can't deny that the true figure is well in excess of that.

Well, if you're assuming the Muslims et al had nothing to do with the crusades and blame Christianity entirely, which is retarded. I WILL NOT PAY FOR YOUR HISTORY LESSONS.

How many Sunday mornings have been wasted though?

Who said anything about the Crusades other than you?

That is the only time Christianity really was ever violent, but thanks for asking.

Jones was a jackass, a murderer, and a total brainwasher who is burning in hell as we speak.

This pains me.

Unplug your blank stare from my ass. The simple reality is that Christianity was not the driving force behind the violence of the inquisitions, the Serbian bull****, the colonization of America, the reformations, the IRA, the Rwandan genocide etc etc. These were political/strategic conflicts and had nothing to do with religion, get yourself a fact checker.

Sure, and you just happen to give your credit card to people that you get into accidents with. It has nothing to do with your fault in teh matter.

If you hate America so much why not move out? You seem deeply cynical of the American dream, god, slavery, and even the way we resolve traffic disputes. I suggest living with Asher that way your two gay avatars can hang out.

If he would have given me a job maybe I would. I don't care if I live in America or not to tell you the truth. Actually, I quite like Thialand.

If you like Cheney so much, why don't you become his congressional page/gay lover?

[Wiglaf]

All you have linked is crusades (which I originally mentioned), the inquisition (which was political) and the Salem witch trials (which were primarily caused by opiates and old wives tails). And how sad, even your own entry on the 30 years war says the cause was not religion.

Check your facts, indeed.

What about manifest destiny? That one political?

Are you insane? Manifest destiny was not about religion, it was about us wanting more land and a bunch of defenseless dirty savages standing in our way. Religion/destiny was used as an excuse to knock them out of the way and set up homes where they had teepees.

Oh really?

Read the rest of the sentence please, thanks.

Beginning as a religious conflict between Protestants and Catholics in the Holy Roman Empire, it gradually developed into a general war involving much of Europe, for reasons not necessarily related to religion.[2] T
