Oh, and I have to agree with Billy on one thing, if you chose Pyrric as your partner in this battle, you're going to lose. Gus is the biggest piece of shit, braindead, lump of gin-soaked flesh this forum has to offer, you're better off going it alone.

One last post, just to mention something on-topic. I was actually IN Europe all last week, travelled around Ireland a bit, and I met nothing but really nice people, barely saw a lick of any anti-american sentiment. I'm sure its out there somewhere, it just wasn't prominent with the folks I talked to.

Those are a few off the top of my head. Please I challenge you to list some examples of atrocities committed in the name of atheism. Atheism is not a religion, its not a cause that anybody can fly a banner for, rather it is a LACK of religion. People don't kill for atheism because there is nothing to kill for. Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, and all the others may have been atheists, thats all fine and good, but their lack of religion was not what drove them.
Actually, subtract the crusades from your list, they were fought to defend Europe from the invading arabs.

Stalin specifically targeted religious leaders, as did Mao and Hitler. Why? because they hated their faith and the threat that thier religions offered. Therefore they were murdering in the name of athiesm.

The Inquisition didn't begin until 1478. So for those 800 years the Muzzies were in control of Spain, not only Spain but much of Eastern Europe too, why do you think all the Albanians are muzzies?

Learning Gus, try it.

The Inquisition was merely a tool used by the rightful rulers of Spain to expunge foreign invaders. It worked, Spain shortly fell back into the hands of the Spanish Monarchy, just in Time to give ole Christibol Columbo his ships for his cross ocean voyage.
What kind of Modern Revisionist Propaganda have you been reading? The Jews were the ones involved in and targeted by the Spanish Inquisition as well as those that professed their Faith.

Maybe 15% from what I see.

When you have any form of government which can see the damage that can be done by religion in whatever form it comes in said government will usually attempt to subdue those religions. This has nothing whatsoever to do with the faiths of those involved and leading the government but more so with the perpetuation of that government free from religious idealogies.
The United States Constitution is a very good example of this. The 13 colonies had over 20 different Christian factions and they knew that were they ever to unite they had to resolve the religious issue. They did so by seperating the United States Government from any religious control while allowing any citizen to practice whatever religion they chose.

Communist idealogies see religious beliefs as an enemy to the perpetuation of their governance. There-fore they will often attempt to do away with any religious organizations which might tempt the populaces loyalties away from the government.

It really boils down to simple politics which have shit all to do with religion.

Yes, thats true, although not to the same extent that it was Muslims. 2 birds 1 stone. Its not revision, its fact. The revisionist bullshit is what we were all taught in school, that ya now the muzzies were just minding thier business not bothering anyone when that evvvviiiilllly white christian spanish monarchy decided to massacre them all.

Spanish inquisition = good thing. Learn it.

Exactly, it boils down to power.

Communists don't want religious people because they wont worship the state.
The Spanish inquisition was about retaking spain from arabic invaders. Guised in the name of religion. This is what I was getting at earlier, then Fr0g told me, that no they were really doing it for the religion, and that the communists werent killing religious people and leaders for thier beliefs.

Not prepared to challenge the revision you learned huh? What the fuck else would the inquisition be about? Is it a coincidence that the battles of Grenada occurred less than 20 years later? Fucking dolt.
