Aaaaannnnd....What's your point?

I said it was the first philosophy, not the only one. I never said anything about relating the two.

well, the crusades were after the Muslims left Europe, so you're talking about wars of revenge. Is that a christian concept now?



You actually tried to use this before...3 pages ago. It was idiotic then and it still is now.

Europe was ruled by an objectivist government--All governments were and are. The idea behind such a government philosophy is to secure the well being of the country, which that government runs, at all costs. In which case, to secure the citizens that made up the population of that country, Europe retaliated against Islam after they took Jerusalem. Because Christianity teaches to help those in need, the government protecting the proliteriate through an offense upon would be invaders is very much so analogous to Christian principle. However, Christianity itself, nor its principles, were the reason that Europe went to war. It was because they were attacked first.

So, in short, you've totally misinterpreted history and re-defined the context of my arguments--On purpose I might add.

A bunch of Atheists, are they?



Where did I say they were atheists? I don't remember reading anywhere that the burning cross actually represented a holy crucifix on the part of KKK members.

The overall fact here is that Christianity is not a prime motivation for the practitioners of the KKK and the philosophy of Christianity, moreover, does not encourage their behavior.

same as you did. all religious people come to their own conclusions.



I'm sorry, but the Ten Commandments are very straight-forward, and they speak specifically against such actions as murder and harming other peoples' goods.

Does anyone else find it really annoying to chop someone else's post into little sound bites?

It also becomes so long that it ends the topic since no one wants to read the post.



r3x obviously doesn't mind considering he does it himself and still responds to me when I make point by point posts.

It gives the replier easy rebutal, but it takes the original post out of context.



My reply did no such thing.
