You are correct in pointing out the hypocrisy among some Christians throughout history. Most of us Christians are ashamed of those that committed those sins against Christianity. However, lets not pretend that other non-Christians committed many sins of similar nature and continue to do so today. I am not claiming that one excuses the other, only that history can be very misleading not only by the lies told, but by the truth omitted. History is full of people and events that are indeed horrible, but please remember that all sides did what they did not because they did or did not believe in god, but because they would do anything to gain power and wealth and would use any way of persuasion they could find.

Barwick, please remember that as Christians we should only engage in this sort of talk trying to convince non believers if they invite you to do so. However your attempt at trying to explain the actions of people who would place razor blades on playgrounds as an obvious manifestation of evil. There is evil among Christians as there is evil among Atheist. The flaw in people of either beliefs is when they refuse to recognize that evil exists in the world. That refusal seems to be prevalent among liberal progressives.
Sadly, Thoritsu seems to one of those Atheists that is not capable of engaging in these types of discussions in a civilized manner. It's sad when either side is guilty of claiming to be right by disparaging the other side. I ask you to respect each others opinions and trying to find common ground.

fit for any society. Also, if you came close to my
gentle dogs who love people, I would keep an
eye on you.
feel badly; I am not that thin-skinned. Nor do I agree
that it is a deliberate attempt to make oneself feel
superior...etc. Nor do I see arrogance. Too much
psycho-analysis here where none is needed.
Go ahead, I'll wait. Probably till I die of old age, because I'm sure you won't find an answer.
The Crusades were an act of defense against an invading... guess who... MUSLIM nation that slaughtered the Christians who previously lived in that area.
The Spanish Inquisition, the... which church? The *Catholic* Church, that's which one. The one that Martin Luther sought to reform because of all the vile corruption within it? The same one that has that same vile corruption within it to this day?
At least the protestant church admits its mistakes and condemns them.
Burden of proof is on you when you make such absurd claims. I explained to you what the Bible says, and you say I'm taking an indefensible, etc, etc, etc argument.
She supported logic and reason, the Communists just didn't want any competition
such as religion could give them.
Playground.
Anyone who would do such a thing is evil, psychotic, or both!
to cooperation between, say, socialists/communists, environmentalists and
fundamentalist Muslims. That would be an interesting issue in itself.
much time on their hands, no role models. no
education worth a damn, and now a country
where, according to O's pal Van Jones, everything is 'upside-down, inside-out'.
and want them to be perfect ?
people do exist, khalling.
As for spelling etc. I am grateful for those who
will take the time to correct me; that's one way
of learning. Peace.

wrong way having been to Saudi Arabia.
