The all new, totally accepted, bigotry thread - "Blame a Christian"

[Cutlass]

Are we afraid to blame every "sacred" war on the Christians?

The two World Wars Could just be easily blamed on the Pope wanting to regain a Christian Footing in the region?

The Gulf Wars carried out by a "Christian Nation" unwilling to turn the other cheek?

Or is that too conspiratorial?

PS. The cold war was just the East and West seeing who could pray the hardest. It had nothing to do with communism trying to gain power and influence.

Motives matter. Just because most of the people are of one group and most of the other people are part of another group, doesn't make the group membership in and of itself the motive. And in WWII, most of the dead were Christian. The Poles were largely Catholic, like Hitler was. As were many of the other Europeans killed.

I'm not the only one on the forum who seems to credit Dachs as being knowledgable in that area.

He has proven to know what he's talking about and as such I reward that with some credibility; meanwhile, your scoffs andfailed retorts... well, do little in your favor.

Darn. That hurts... hahahaha

Hitler was born into a Catholic family, as are many people who are not Catholics.
Other than that, yes...

Let me assure you that religion is separate from our public schools. Heck, I only know of one of my 7 teachers who I am sure is a Christian.

I don't see how this contradicts my point.

Which of course is the only religion worth thinking about, right?

 

[CELTICEMPIRE]

@ both of you, it's because you act like I've never met anyone who isn't a Christian.

 

[Arakhor]

We can only go with how you post, Celtic. I'd go further and suggest that you've never seriously talked with anyone who wasn't an evangelical Christian creationist, other than on-line.

Are you sure WWII had no religious aspects?

If that was the case, the Nazis wouldn't care about converted Jews or Christians with Jewish heritage. It all made little difference to them.

 

[Tee Kay]

Well, the Japanese for their part were basically fighting full-blown holy wars.

 

[Traitorfish]

Although that example also shows exactly how murky the distinction between the religious and the political actually is.

You are so wrong on that. I know more people who are not Evangelic Christian Creationists that who are.

Apparently the world is still sane overall.

Less so in America:

Where I live, creationists and intelligent people are pretty close in numbers.

Is this a fair characterization of your weltanschauung?

Yeah! He's a baptist and they're presbyterian! It's totally different!

Then why do you constantly resort to (supposedly) pithy one-liners that frequently reveal your ignorance of the world and other religious beliefs as if evangelical Christian creationism is the only valid viewpoint? Heaven knows I want to remove all bigotry and intolerance in the world, so it's not as if I'm saying this just to be mean.

I can actually confirm this because on the few occasions I've been a rude , intolerant bastard here , he has posted to this effect on my wall.

Examples please.

 

[Arakhor]

Just go and check your posting history, Celtic. It's filled with allegedly useful one-liners, which add nothing to the conversation. Everyone does it from time to time, but when yours build up a picture of an evangelical creationist with a limited world-view (which isn't unusual in teenagers, to be fair), you wonder why you get treated like one.

Ok, I just about had enough of those $$%#$%$%@ Christians! 2 weeks ago I ordered NHL 2012 on account of me buying a playstation drei. Delivery time: 5 to 7 days. So I've got today planned to have some mates over, some beers and a good time. Checked the order status on the page, it was supposed to be here yesterday. Yesterday I got home, still no game, so I decided to call them. So they told me it could be another 7 days!

Bloody Christians!

 

[Borachio]

Yeah, bloody Christians. Giving those lions indigestion. The idea!
