Post by Pious PaulChristians are the real killers. They started the whole thing. Even the
Arian Brotherhood and the KKK are Christian organizations
That's true.
...ass?
You sure are.
Post by Pious Paul... Historically, it's been those nasty Christians
who have stirred up the most trouble, you know.
Really? ...
Yes. Try pulling your head out and having a look sometime,
if you're not too frightened:
Christianity is a religion of atrocities throughout its history.
It's yet another myth-based system used to harm others.
Terrorism attacks go along with all of Judeo-Christian
history and continue to the present.
A Vastly Abridged History of Major Christian Atrocities:
4th century AD: the first Christian Roman Emperor, Constantine,
executed over 3000 Christians (more than killed in Rome to date),
because they didn't agree with him on the meaning of scripture.
8th century AD: the Christian Charlemagne beheaded 4500 Saxons
in a single morning, because they refused to convert to Christianity.
Holy Roman, Emperor!
12th century AD: the Christian Crusaders decided they wanted to
have Jerusalem for themselves, slaughtering the men, women, and
children there until their horses were up to their knees in blood.
12-15th century AD, Christians had themselves an Inquisition, in
which they tortured and killed other Christians (the Albigensian
Heresies), Jews, Muslims, Homosexuals, literate folks, women
who spoke up, and finally anybody Isabella didn't like. They
were remarkably inventive with torture methods and must
have really loved the sound of agonized screams and the
smell of burning human flesh.
Christian Britain killed 30,000 witches, but Christian Germany,
not to be outdone, killed 100,000.
Vlad the Impaler was a Christian knight.
16th century AD, Christians debated at length about whether
or not Native Americans were actually human, descended of
Adam and Eve, ie born guilty.
"When the Pequots resisted the migration of settlers into the
Connecticut Valley, a party of Puritans surrounded the Pequot
village and set fire to it ... Cotton Mather was grateful to the Lord
that 'on this day we have sent six hundred heathen souls to hell.'"
"The Red race has disappeared from the Atlantic Coast: the tribes
that resisted civilization, met extinction. For my part, I cannot murmur
at which seems to be the effect of divine law ..." said Senator Thomas
Hart Benton of Missouri, in 1846, even though even the ones who'd
become Christians among the '5 civilized tribes' had also recently
been evicted from their homes and farms and sent to Oklahoma.
The terrorist massacre of Rosewood Florida in 1923 represents a trend
of Christian terrorism against innocent people which includes many
lynchings as well as mass murders.
Of course, all the way to more recent history, the Christian Catholics
and Christian Protestants have only stopped attacking each other
long enough to go after the non-Christians.
Guess who's quoted below:
"I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so."
"Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the
Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the
work of the Lord."
"I say: my Christian feeling tells me that my lord and savior is a warrior"
If you guessed "Adolf Hitler", you guessed right.
How about those things the Christian Serbs did to Muslims? Goes
to show rape and burning others to death never really went out of
fashion with those trendy Christians.
Islam looks like a real easy scapegoat, especially since there are
some real powerful Christians who want all that oil for themselves,
today. They all seem to be right in line, doing what they're told,
and will march over the bodies of babies they've slain, as ordered.
The Bush/Cheney attacks on the USA, Afghanistan and Iraq
are terrorist war crimes. Bush has claimed to be "born again"
as a Christian and that God speaks through him.
Bush/Cheney terrorism has killed a million or so innocent people,
now, in a scant five years, but for some reason the bushkultie is
unable to count the world's worst current war crime as such.
The anthrax terrorists have still never been caught, and won't be,
any sooner than those of 9/11.
Why would anyone imagine that the illegal invasions of Iraq or of
Afghanistan had overwhelmed anyone other than the USA?

James c 4 v 1-5
"From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of
your lusts that war in your members?
Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight
and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your
lusts.
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is
enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy
of God."
Do ye think that the Scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us
lusteth to envy?"
Now, to be fair, this correspondent does not intend to
imply that all those who call themselves "Christians"
would interpret the writings they consider holy in more
literal rather than figurative ways. It is not apparent
that any significant number of the self-proclaimed
"Christians" have actually given their scriptures
all that much of a glance, much less abided to the
letter by the content thereof. A lot of controversy goes
on about the real meanings of such literature, among
the greatest scholars of it. Languages of antiquity
aren't always fully understood at best. Now, if I can
accept that an old text cited as significant by some
religious group may not represent the beliefs or the
behaviors of the members of that group in general,
can I not extend that assessment to other religions?
