anyone not saying christianity is purely uneducated
It depends how you're looking it at. If all deaths at the hands of Christians are counted then I would agree, but if we're only counting deaths that were motivated strictly by religion then I wouldn't.

i guess... i think it was you who had a good point about religion being a mask for economic gain, but that was only at the highest levels of govt and we know that looking back on it. the warriors were fighting out of religious belief.

Is everyone thats picking Christianity ignoring the hatred between Muslims and Hindus in India? Those deaths are strictly religiously motivated . I think the majority of deaths being given to Christians weren't really religiously motivated. Europeans tend to do things for economic reasons, but mask it in religion. Short of the Crusades there's not many times when Christians killed strictly for religious reasons, and even the Crusades could be argued as motivated more by economic factors than religious ones. Also, the only dissenting views of the evil nature of European colonization came from the Christian hierarchy.

Are you fukking kidding me? :dead:

@Type Username Here as a brasileiros how do you feel about the aforementioned statements? Accurate?

I've been studying history for a long time, and hold several degrees.

What is it that you find so crazy?

It's hilarious that you can write off the Crusades as being politically and economically motivated, totally devoid of religious intent, then hide behind your degrees as some kind of shade from the most obvious criticisms in the world.

If you want to use that flimsy ass defense of Christian slaughters over history, then even Al Qaeda and 9/11 are totally excused from the realm of Islamic violence. Al Qaeda has much greater geopolitical goals which involve the Gulf and a whole host of factors, I exclude them from Islamic violence. In fact, I can exclude the Indian "conflict" and simply say that there are class and ethnic divides which are being exacerbated by religious tensions.

WEAK

Aside from the First Crusade, the European Crusading Armies lost consistently. Yeah, the first sack of Jerusalem was horrific, but several religions have been responsible for the sacking of cities. I'm not sure that that one event would overwhelmingly win the debate.

Also, that was hardly my point. I'm not sure why you decided to focus on that. The extinction of the Native American population would be the much larger bloodletting at the hands of Christians. My point was that wasn't a religious crusade; its perpetrators just happened to be Christian. To me, thats not the fault of the religion, especially when the only critics of the awful treatment of the natives were Christian office holders. If you disagree that's fine.

Not hiding behind degrees or pushing an agenda, just having a discussion.

Sounds like you just dont like hearing the truth, and it makes you uncomfortable. Still, you should STFU.
