Timothy McVeigh was a multi-generational Christian American, didn't keep him from killing people. What group is immune from crazy idiots?
Lets look at who has killed more innocent people across the world. Christians or Muslims?
I think Muslims take the win on this one. How many counties are currently fighting Muslim terrorism? How many countries are currently fighting Christian terrorists?
Quote:What about all the Christian explorers that brought new diseases to the New World and killed hundreds of thousands of people - directly and indirectly. Are we counting the Crusades? The European Inquisitions? Do you know anything about the history of the Africa and the Christian missionaries?
So let me get this right. In order to prove your point you are going back hundreds of years? What was the reason for the original Crusades? Muslims pushing into Europe. Remember they took over Spain and other such places. The Crusades were a response not the first action.
Quote:How about the fact that we kill people by consuming too much of the world's resources and are not very good at sharing.
Last I checked we were one of the worlds largest exporters of food. Try again.
Quote:The American government (mostly Christian) has fueled it's share of bloody wars everywhere in the world. By the way - we are the Christian terrorists to much of the world.
Your right, we started WWI and WWII didn't we. Try again
Quote: They feel as threatened by us as we do of them. What would you do if some foreign power invaded the US and said they were going to set you free according to their definition of freedom? I think you would fight with the same ferocity that they do
We didn't start this shooting war, it was started with the crashing of planes into the Twin Towers. We didn't capture all those planes in the 80's and kill people. We didn't invade the Olympics in the early 70's and slaughter innocent people trying to compete for their country.
If you must know since you want to make this personal, I wasn't home schooled, I went to public school till I was in Highschool and then transfered to a private military academy in WI.
