OK Jim,

I just don't understand what the heck you meant by your statement. Would
you be kind enough to elucidate the statement?


Well, maybe he's referring to the Inquisition, or the Thirty Years War,
or the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre, or any of the other episodes of
mass killing done by Christians, supposedly in the name of Christ.

Does that make it any more clear?

No, he included the USA and Canada.

The Thirty Years War consisted of a series of declared and undeclared wars
which raged through the years 1618-1648 throughout central Europe.

August 24, 1572, was the date of the infamous St. Bartholomew's Day
Massacre in France.

Neither the USA or Canada existed at that time.

My question remains, when did the USA and Canada have a "religious war"
with anyone?

In your mind, do these Christian atrocities justify the current Muslim
atrocities? Should we just live with and enjoy the Muslim killings?

If a reasonable Democrat were president, and he continued the fight against
Muslim terrorists, would you condemn him?

As a Christian, I abhor all atrocities against our fellow man. Admitidly,
there were in the long distant past atrocities committed by Christians. But
no more than those committed by non Christians. It does seem to me that the
most recent wave of atrocities and genocide are not committed by
Christians, but against them in some cases.

You realize, I hope, that my post was a response to 'jps', and was not directed
