Yes its brutal. I just wanted to make sure there was no "re-writing" of history taking place here as we have seen on other threads. I think it was nipped in the bud.
The Crusades were a series of religion-driven military campaigns waged by much of Christian Europe against external and internal opponents. Crusades were fought mainly against Muslims, though campaigns were also directed against pagan Slavs, Jews, Russian and Greek Orthodox Christians, Mongols, Cathars, Hussites, Waldensians, Old Prussians, and political enemies of the popes. Crusaders took vows and were granted an indulgence for past sins. |

Boo as usual you are trying to mask some kind of study for yet another excuse to attack Christians.We all know you are not going to mention a single word on any other religion but the Christians and yes I know you are going to blame the Christians for all of Americas problems in the Bush administration from the terrorism to the economy. But before I turn you loose on your conspiracy theories I have to tell that you are way off right from the start.Christianity and Christian morals and principles whether it is private or public have been under attack in every single way for the last 10 or so years.There has been a huge and successful campaign by both liberals and God hating Atheist to remove prayer from schools,prayer from courts and sports arenas,and other public places where prayers were allowed.Christian logic such as Intelligent design has been banned from schools.Christmas and things like Christmas trees,lights,and other Christmas related objects in public places have been under tremendous pressure to be removed by hateful Atheist groups.The government has even gone as far as to say churches can not preach anti-gay sermons as they consider this a form of hate speech.The right as Christians to protest(such as the prop 8 fiasco)has resulted in death threats,attacks,and government condemnation. The truth is Christianity has all but been taken out of government.Yes it is still there but only because someone hasn't filed a lawsuit to take it out which always happends.You are dreaming if you think in this day and age someone in the house or congress is going to pass a law or a bill to protect Christians from being discriminated against. Your wrong on Christians.What is running our government is Godless liberals.That's why our government is going downhill.They are taking God out of our government. Would you mind citing some examples how Christians are "taking over goverment". Geez Thomas, did you think I posted this thread just to irritate you? You rarely say more than a few words. Godless liberals, running our government? Dang you really are out of touch. Though I am sure there is a fair share of liberals that don't share your beliefs just as there are those one the republican side that also don't share your beliefs, I guarantee there are far more that 'do' on both sides. As I have said before you need to get out more, you really have no clue of what is happening in the Christian community other than what you care to know. Oh and by the way, death threats from gays? Now that is funny. Even if you had a tiny fraction of death threats by gays it would be nothing compared to the death threats gays face all over the world from the so called religious. So spare me the fake outrage. Gays on the whole would not jeopardize their rights by acting out in that way. But what would you know about gays... |

Good question. There seems to be a great deal of fear and hate based on something you know nothing about nor have ever made an effort to understand. All that is important to you is that the bible seems to be anti-gay at least on the surface so that is enough reason for you to condemn them all to hell. Did you know there are plenty of gay and lesbian Christians? What would you do if a close friend of yours (or a child) came and confided in you that they might be gay or lesbian? Where would your “Christian compassion” lie then? |

Brainwashing works, or so they say? That's compassionate ain't it? Water boarding might work too.. ok a little silly this morning.. |
