Christianity and the other main religions have now arrived in the 21st century. The exception is Islam, which still thinks it's the 7th century.
Germany jumped on this just to see what it was like to be on the majority side for once. She won't like the view any better than when she was under a world-wide boycott in the hopes of starting a major conflict starting.
No, implying that only viewing Christianity as the end all be all to the systemic eradication of the indigenous peoples of North America, is. There were indeed many Christians who have committed atrocities, (in the name of which God, I have no phuckin clue because all Jesus ever did was preach love and understanding) but there were also groups of people that did the same out of pure hate, as a matter of fact, those that killed out of pure hate far out way anything else.
But regardless, I think we can agree that Islam has hundreds of years of catching up to do. Fundamentalist Christians are phucked up people, but they do not slice peoples heads off with a knife for all the world to see, they do not hang teenagers because of their sexual preference, they do not slam airplanes into buildings, they do not stone women to death because of adultery. Yes there is much that fundamentalists say that make my hair stand on end, but when you attempt to compare those extremists with extreme Islam, my friend, you will lose every single time.
The instinct for self-preservation operates at both the individual and the societal levels. The instinct is manifesting itself in Germany.
It's OK, I thought you were sane enough to debate with. We all make mistakes.
