Bullshit, Vesta. The correct way to phrase what you just wrote is as follows:
Don't get me wrong: Christians have in their past committed attrocities to the envy of any genocidal maniac, and for as small an "empire" as David handed down to his sons, The Kingdom of Israel lacked no immagination in enforcing conformity in it's conquered lands. Both religions combined however, can scarcely hold a candle to the utter body count and sheer depravity purpetrated by Muslims in the name of and under the explicit authority and direction of their Prophet, their book of scripture, and their bloody-handed deity over the entirety of the past 1,400 years. To say nothing of fair, it's not even a RATIONAL comparison to make, ma'am.
This is like trying to find the worlds worse destroyer and comparing Russia, Germany, Cambodia, China and Japan.
One cannot compair the Jews and the Christians for the title of the worse treated people, Christians go back 2,000 years and the Jews from the beginning of time.
But a good reading of the Old Testament will show you that the Jews themselves took up the sword and from time to time marched on unsuspecting governments by the order of God. They wiped out at Gods command all living creatures down to leaving nothing but bugs alive.
The Christians later on in history marched on the Muslims with their blood up to the flanks of their horses.
They managed to destroy the cultures of South America, then later turned on themselves when the great witch hunts began in Europe. An estimated one million woman were killed as supposed witches perhaps that is a very low count.
In today's world of science and technology we now face the old Boogie Man from the past.
We have come a far piece in the last few hundred years, mankind has grown in mind and spiritually.
How do we in this day and age handle this Ghost from the past. Do we allow the Faith Of Our Fathers to be be trampled on and put in its place.? Do we give up all the science we have gained to the ignorant and dangerous ? Do we allow those with the mentality of caveman to march in and take the most precious gift God gave us, the right to free will.?
Defiant, Religion and Politics go hand and hand. Each sucks off the other. We today face a battle not of religion but of humanity, sort of like we today wonder about the ancient civilizations with their astounding creations that have been lost in time. Where did they go, why did they go, will we go the same way as them, lost for thousand of years as we have allowed our sympathetic side to over rule our need for survival?
BTW check up on how David became a king under God. Was it not because Saul felt sympathy for another human and caused the wrath of God.
