The only sad thing is the kids and the elderly and the politicians they murdered. And it's not just gullibility, it's mostly insanity.

Jim Jones was a nice guy. Pity he had to kill himself.
Also, Alabama 3 sampled this speech in one of their songs. He murdered a congressman, journalists, hundreds of children and elderly, and encouraged the suicides of 800+ people. Anyone who thinks Jones was a nice guy ought to join him in hell.

Is this really any different from a Sunday sermon at church? With one you can't wait until the end, so it might be different in that respect.

.01/10, Mr Penis avatar. Few sunday sermons end with 900 dead. You do have to wake a lot of them up though.

[leangarance]

Not if you take into account how long Christianity was around, and your avatar is obscene. This lunatic managed to cause the deaths of about 1,000 people in like 2 years, Christianity has been relatively peaceful considering its 2,000 year existence.

By your math Christianity would have only killed 1,000,000 in its entire history (500/year average x 2000 years). You can't deny that the true figure is well in excess of that. Well, if you're assuming the Muslims et al had nothing to do with the crusades and blame Christianity entirely, which is retarded. I WILL NOT PAY FOR YOUR HISTORY LESSONS.

That is the only time Christianity really was ever violent, but thanks for asking.

Unplug your blank stare from my ass. The simple reality is that Christianity was not the driving force behind the violence of the inquisitions, the Serbian bullshit, the colonization of America, the reformations, the IRA, the Rwandan genocide etc etc. These were political/strategic conflicts and had nothing to do with religion, get yourself a fact checker. Sure, and you just happen to give your credit card to people that you get into accidents with. It has nothing to do with your fault in teh matter.

If you hate America so much why not move out? You seem deeply cynical of the American dream, god, slavery, and even the way we resolve traffic disputes. I suggest living with Asher that way your two gay avatars can hang out. If he would have given me a job maybe I would. I don't care if I live in America or not to tell you the truth. Actually, I quite like Thialand.

What about manifest destiny? That one political?

[BriKevin]

What about manifest destiny? That one political? Are you insane? Manifest destiny was not about religion, it was about us wanting more land and a bunch of defenseless dirty savages standing in our way. Religion/destiny was used as an excuse to knock them out of the way and set up homes where they had teepees.

Oh really? Read the rest of the sentence please, thanks.

Beginning as a religious conflict between Protestants and Catholics in the Holy Roman Empire, it gradually developed into a general war involving much of Europe, for reasons not necessarily related to religion.[2] T

All you have linked is crusades False. I expressly excluded battlefield deaths in crusades against Muslims, per your own suggestion. You do know that not all crusades were against Muslims, right?

the inquisition (which was political) Even if I were to concede that there were both political and religious factors taking a role, it's impossible to deny that it could not have possibly happened had there been no religious fervor to take advantage of in the first place.

And how sad, even your own entry on the 30 years war says the cause was not religion. Oh really?

You think Americans expanded westward because of Christianity? Not because it was wide open terrain to be used for agriculture, trade, shipping, etc etc? Amazing! It's both of course. They wanted all that for God. Do you even know any Christians?
