Burning people to death. Didn't Christians do that a few years back?
For being "witches" and whatnot?
And my own peeps, the Jews, had a few episodes way back that sound roughly in line with what ISIS is doing, e.g. Samuel 15:
"Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘I have noted what Amalek did to Israel in opposing them on the way when they came up out of Egypt. Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’ â€
And what happened, Minimind Manny?
Saul DIDN'T do as God commanded, because he spared "the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and wold not utterly destroy them, but every thing that was vile and refuse, that he utterly destroyed." (Samuel 15:9)
As a result, Saul never became king of Israel, because he disobeyed the Lord. God wanted everything destroyed, because it was unclean, and as such, would corrupt the people of Israel.
BTW, didn't the Romans lay waste to all the territory they concurred? I seem to recall they would poison the wells and salt the earth as they left, so as to insure the land stayed barren.

20. Many Christians still fantasize about non-believers burning in Hell
What fantasy? You don't believe there is a Heaven or a Hell? Would you prefer to live life as if there IS a God, and find out that there isn't, or would you prefer to live life as if there is no God, and find out that He is?
Pascal's Wager set out to prove the existence of God thru logic, it goes something like this:
"If you believe in God, and there is no God, you've lost nothing."
"If you believe in God, and there is a God, you've gained everything."
"If you don't believe in god, and there is a God, you've lost everything."

42. First off, the KKK lynched thousands of Americans much more recently
A self-proclaimed Christian group with a (burning) cross as their symbol.
First off, the KKK was a self-proclaimed DEMOCRAT group, regardless of what symbol they used. ISIS could use a fuzzy kitten as their symbol, it wouldn't make them any less despised, or deadly.
Second - which Christian scriptures have changed over the past 500 years?
Answer, none. Many different translations have transpired over the years, but the scriptures (and their messages) have remained the same.
