Isis at it again

On a second thought it is not as bad as it looks. You can forget the pains of shaving, have a few wives under full control, no boozing youth on the streets. What's not to like?!

I take it you`re talking about christianity


A Bloody Past
1096 Roman Catholic crusaders slaughter half the Jews in Worms, Germany.

1098 Roman Catholic crusaders slaughter almost all of the inhabitants of the city of Antioch.

1099 Roman Catholic crusaders massacre 70,000 Muslims and Jews when they capture Jerusalem.

1208 – 1226 The Albigensian Crusades in southern France. Roman Catholic crusaders slaughter approximately 20,000 citizens of Beziers, France, on July 22, 1209. Albigensian Christians and Catholics were slain. By the time the Roman Catholic armies finished their “crusade,” almost the entire population of southern France (mostly Albigensian Christians) has been exterminated. During the six centuries of papal Inquisition that began in the 13th century, up to 50 million people were killed. Read what J. A. Wylie's The History of Protestantism has to say about the Crusades against the Abigenses

But, until fairly recently, communications were extremely poor. Ordinary people couldn't read or write and their only source of "information" was the educated clergy, who could and did feed misinformatiion to the masses, so up to a point the Roman Empire (which had by now been re-branded as the Roman Catholic Church) could brainwash its people into comitting atrocities in the name of God.

But, with today's excellent and easy communications, what excuse to religious fanatics now have?

Those soppy beards make them look like knob heads. I'd rather shave.

They are still feeding misinformation to the vunerable these days and using today's excellent and easy communications to do it.

Weak minded, gullible fools incapable of taking responsibility for the fact that every decision they make in life, and every action they take, is in no-one's name but their own.

Yes, but presumably most of them can now read their own copy of the Koran for themselves and see that they are being fed misinformatiion

That is true but there are still people (adults not kids) who believe in witchcraft and we all know That dos`nt work.

It is not their exclusive domain. Most of us have a serious lack of comprehension even when the facts are being presented. Most of us then still argue against it. Most of us have alternative motifs whatever they maybe to not change our point of view. Most of us aren't Vulcan
