re: Future horrors

SteveS — 4/19/2008 12:21:26 AM (archived)

History is absolutely clear in this and overall, if one were to graph the number of people murdered or oppressed over the centuries in the name the various religions, I'm not sure Islam would top the list.

Gee, from I remember Muslimâ€™s were fighting the Meccanâ€™s 600 years before Christianity was even born.

Christianâ€™s didnâ€™t orchestrate the ethnic cleaning that happened and still going on in some countries like Bosnia, East Timor, Sudan, Cyprus, Kosovo, Macedonia, and the Philippines.

Yea, the Christians have been on the winning side of the scorecard. Did I mention the Romans, Hitler?

Funny how I always seem to be defending the Christian faith with you, and I am not a follower.

There's a big difference between the thinking of Islam and Christian's regarding law. For Islam it is contolled by God. For Christianity it is controlled by the people. Christianity has evolved, Islam has not.
