Is the Pope slamming Islam for what the Vatican and Christianity used to do?

Compare the tactics of Islam to those of Christianity when it ushered in the Dark Ages and Inquisition.

Are those tactics and ways not the same and does that not say that all idol worshipping religions, especially Christianity and Islam, are evil?

Are you asking if what Christianity did 800 years ago is the same as what Islam does today?

[tailfins]

Why are you referring to Catholics as Christians?

I don't think Islam has killed as many as Christianity did, but basically, yes.

Because all why fly the cross are the same to me as you all embrace the human sacrifice of your idol Jesus. You all have given up your morals to Satan in the hope of getting to heaven.

Jesus cannot tell who has his head up his ass. A Catholic or a Protestant.

Normally I see a post from this person and just keep going, but this is a question asked by anybody and everybody that is looking to just slam Christianity, if you understood even a little you may have a clue.

[darin]

If you're talking body-count, I'd argue Islam has probably killed twice as many as those murdered in the name of Christianity. Think Crusades. 1000 years before the Islams attacked the Jews/Christians - Think the very first wars-waged on Islamic imperialism dating back to what - 650AD? In 1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_of_Muslim_Population_in_Medieval_India)973 estimates of 80 MILLION hindus were killed between 1000-1500. Eighty Million.


Now - if we want to talk brain-washing of Non-violent believers? Christianity is on-par with Islam I'd bet. Christians today are so misguided as to the Point of Christ...breaks my heart the willing-bondage they suffer.

I'm not following your 'logic' at all.

For one thing, I'm sure that, if you count Islam's track record from its creation to now, the 'killing' count would be greater.

But in any case .. you (- conveniently -) overlook one glaringly obvious fact, making it highly pertinent that the Pope is justified in speaking out.

Islam is slaughtering people NOW .. not hundreds of years ago !!

I wouldn't have a complaint if you substituted Papist for Christian. They worship the Pope, not Jesus. Or if you're in a cranky mood, the term Mackerel Snapper will also suffice.

I also just found this. Do you understand that violence is a poo response to words?

It seems strange that he would advocate violence against words and then try to restrict the freedom of speech that society has worked so hard to bring to all nations and peoples.

This was insulting enough to this blogger, who is usually quite civil and funny and never curses, to act out of character.

Quite the way left for people to pick a religion. Which one has murdered the fewest.

And both religions you state continue to deny women and gays equality, --- even as those who are discriminated against without a just cause, they stupidly keep putting coin in the church/mosque.

How stupid and immoral are theists? Very.

True but an honest pope would acknowledge that Christianity taught Islam much in how to kill.

Do you enjoy your free speech?

so.... we shouldn't try to stop anyone from doing something that humanity has does previously? How would that work, exactly? Because, to break this latest run at idiocy, you're already in the wrong right here, hung by your own idiotic rambling.

so, according to you, alcoholics should not call for other alcoholics to stop drinking, because they themselves once drank. Reformed rapists should do nothing to prevent further rapes, because they once raped?

For a Christian, you have markedly little room for redemption and compassion.

Apparently, per your little "thesis" here, what you do in your life has absolutely no relevance, because someone, somewhere in your connected ancestry did something wrong in the last couple thousand years. If you're white, you caused slavery, if you're black, there were brutal warlords there for most of the last 1000 years. German descent? You are personally responsible for the genocide of the Jews. It doesn't matter who you are, or what you've done, its your fucking fault, per the argument you are raising here. This is the core problem, and why your runs never get any traction, and are quickly ripped apart, repeatedly and at length.

Or, as an alternative, we could be sane and rational about things. Most of the world has improved since the time of the Inquisition, and apparently, you don't really understand what the Inquisition was. It's really quite different from the Spanish Inquisition (Hence it always being denoted at such), and here's how: The Inquisition mostly went after nobles and rich merchants. Now, you might be asking yourself "why?" Pretty simple, if you burned a heretic at the stake, their lands and wealth became property of the Church. Most the time, it didn't come to that, however, since most nobles were only too happy to kiss up to the Church, since, you know, the Church would back you with an army when the Calvinists were trying to take over your lands. The Spanish Inquisition was a zealotous offshoot that popped up shortly after the Church of England branched off, and the Church literally could not afford to lose the Spaniards, who were not only some of their greatest contributors, but also one of the best armies and navies of the day.

You show a degree of ignorance, and an abhorrence of common sense that completely undercuts every single thread you yourself start. With every run at this, you look only more and more foolish.

We should all be fighting evil but in this case, the pope, if honest, would have shown where his insight came from and admit that Christianity has learned and repented from the experience of doing the same thing.

It is that hypocrisy that I dislike. Not the fight against evil.

Thanks for tying to distort my view though. Typical
