The only sad thing is the kids and the elderly and the politicians they murdered. And it's not just gullibility, it's mostly insanity. -
Jim Jones was a nice guy. Pity he had to kill himself.
Also, Alabama 3 sampled this speech in one of their songs.

He murdered a congressman, journalists, hundreds of children and elderly, and encouraged the suicides of 800+ people. Anyone who thinks Jones was a nice guy ought to join him in hell.Originally posted by onodera

Is this really any different from a Sunday sermon at church?"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Not if you take into account how long Christianity was around, and your avatar is obscene. This lunatic managed to cause the deaths of about 1,000 people in like 2 years, Christianity has been relatively peaceful considering its 2,000 year existence.Comment

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.Originally posted by Wiglaf
