I'd love to see the idiot shit-kicker reaction to a burn the American Flag rally held in Texas.
Maybe they were being antagonistic to flush out potential terrorists.

For one, that is against the law.
Bill keep in mind. Persians were thriving then. Genghis Kahn killed 75% of them. Why I brought up Charlemagne is because European Christianity was growing in global power (military) looooong before the threat of Islam. The better way to explain it is. "Non-practicing Muslims have been a major problem in the West's growth and it gave further fuel to the fire with the birth of Islam" Buddy, the church wasn't Islam before the 600s. They were fighting middle easterners. Non-Muslims.Willy, the crusades were in 1103 give or take a little, they began in retaliation for the Muslim advance into Europe, now, did the crusader leaders take advantage of a situation, possibly I don't know the answer to that, and since it was close to 1000 years ago I doubt we ever will. In the end it doesn't really matter as it was 1000 years ago, and doesn't matter at all about what's taking place today. Just follow the timeline
Burning the American Flag has been recognized as free speech for decades.
Meh. The papacy worked hand-in-hand with Mussolini on pretty much every issue except when he tried to strip Italian Jews of their citizenship.Jamo, being occupied by Germany might've played a role in that, or the desire to stay neutral. I don't know, i thought Goebbels was married before the war?
In what country? Not the United StatesFor one, that is against the law.
I think I read that the only Nazi excommunicated by the Vatican was Goebbels, and that was only because he married a non-catholic.
The church was a huge reservoir of support for early 20th century fascism. I believe they recognized Hitler's birthday up until the very end.
False
I agree with you. But I think it simplifies the situation. Islam was little over 100+ old when in the 700s. The wars with the middle east go back to the City-Nation times of the Greek. Over a 1000 years of bad blood. Islam was a means to an end as the church was grabbing up more and more power. I have no doubt in my mind that Crusades weren't about Islam suppression as much as it was about globalizing Christianity. Charlemagne took it to a new level with his self-righteousness.Willy, the battle of tours which was one by Charlemagnes father was fought in France and considered the turning point of Islams push into Europe. It was fought in the late 700's, and that was Islam.
Im sure Christians were fighting middle easterners before that, probably what brought about Mohammed's rise. But as for the Crusades, they came about because of Islams rise and threat.

I'm sure you have read a lot. But if you think the West's problem began with the middle east over Islam and without taking the considerations of the church's rise in power to globalize Christianity, then you are undermining the intensity of middle east/the West pre-Islam. So no, it's not a "false".Willy, I've read 4 books on the Crusades, and this is simply false.
Constantine may have had that as a goal, but the Crusades were 'primarily' about stopping Islam. I have always viewed Constantine as both good and bad for Christianity at the same time. He stop the persecutions of Christians by the Roman government, but as the same time, probably turned Christianity in to something it was not meant to be.
The first 300 years of Christianity are often overlooked and was making its mark on humanity without the aid of Constantine, Charlemagne, or the Crusades.
So we should just sit back and do nothing?
Comparing America (and the 9/11 murders) to middle eastern countries like Yemen or Pakistan (and collateral killings) is moronic. The left just loves to make these imperialistic comps, as if we are building an empire instead of just losing trillions of dollars. Learn justifications, learn who the world comes to when they need help. We have different rules for some pretty GD good reasons.
I would agree that drones are overused and lack oversight. Just telling though that liberals wanted the former leadership jailed over waterboarding and yawn at 5-7 fold increase in drone usage under Obama.
Not trying to be nit picky Bill, but middle eastern expansion had already pushed itself into Europe waaaay before Islam. Islam was just another piece of trash added to a sky-high size of growing garbage.Willy, It doesn't matter how old Islam was at the time, by the 700's it had already made a heavy push by force into Europe, that is an undeniable fact. The Christian Armies eventually pushed it all the way out.
What the hell are we even arguing about? Something that happened 1000 years ago somehow being relevant to today? It's not relevant, its ridiculous to somehow try to justify whats happening in the world today to what happened then.
You're the idiot making these comps and yes you are. You only post on making excuses for muslims and hating Reagan, nothing else. Go sell that shitty "not a liberal" elsewhere, you have a decade of evidence against you.I'm not "the left". And please quit writing when you have sand in your vagina. It makes you cranky and kind of nutty.
Actually, true. There's shit that's older than the world according to the Bible.
I mean literally shit.

I have always viewed Constantine as both good and bad for Christianity at the same time.
One example, Saturnalia moves as a pagan holiday to "Merry Christmas"I'd say Constantine was one of the worst things to ever happen to Christianity. He was a pagan that knew virtually nothing about Christian doctrine. He only knew that there was great division within his empire and he needed to solidify it. He did this by helping to fuse pagan rituals, rites and images into Christianity (starting with his Council of Nicea) in order to try and make everyone happy. This door stayed open over the centuries and the bastardization continued with Greek myth and philosophy also being incorporated.
So what you get now is nothing like the Christianity practiced in the first century, and Constantine opened the door for it to happen.

Adam was there from the beginning, correct? 6,000 years or so was determined by counting the generations of biblical figures recorded throughout the Bible, starting with Adam in the Garden of Eden.With all due respect Pope, there is nothing in the bible that contradicts the existence of fossils being many thousands or millions of years old.
When you say "according to the bible", how old do you think the bible says the earth is?
