What facts? You state nothing but opinions. And why you'd accuse others of handing out insults when as always you're the first one to start dishing them. Maybe it's because you're incapable of discussing anything without making it a personal attack on someones opinions.

Afghanistan is a strategic piece of land. That's why you've fought to have some control over it in the past and why the US and the Soviets got involved in it. You're in Afghanistan for absolutely no justifiable reason. You weren't attacked by anyone or any organisation from Afghnistan. Maybe...

What gives you the right to decide whose country deserves to be invaded and kill its inhabitants? You do realise people end up dead yeah? Or are you saying child molestation is worse than killing people illegally? No argument from me on that one. But don't be so naive to assume all of the...

That doesnt make sense. So the Catholic Church is evil when someone does something bad, yet when someone does something good under its banner it means nothing? Or are you jsut going with the gross generalisations spiel? How do you explain the thousands of people who like say a Mother Therese...

Since when is the institution the vast majority of the people? Is it the vast majority of English people's fault that Blair sent its soldiers to Iraq/Afghanistan? I mean look at all the cover ups and lies involved in that and the consequences. Using that reasoning if the Catholic Church is...

Wow, you just missed the irony there. Geroge Bush says something stupid and the vast majoirty of the world say "don't be so bloody stupid". You realise that indicates the vast majoirty of people think it was a stupid and irrelevant statement that has no place in this modern world. Or did that...

Once again, learn to read perhaps and stop making stuff up? post #1287 That indicates a recognition of past actions which admit past actions that are considered as "bad". Don't let the truth get in the way of your opinions though.

As far as I know the teachings of Christ still can be related to someone today in 2011. But to answer your question, yes they are in some ways living in the past. Apply a bit of modern sensibility to his words and they are still relevant. Linking modern day religions to a massive event like the...

They would only have relevance to people who live in the past. It was to steal their resources and destroy their cultures by "civilizing" them to a set of standards forced upon them by their invaders. Did I say they did? What's crass is the hypocrisy of some people to pass judgment on one...

For the record? You waffle on about talking facts then can't even get that one right. Islam has more practising members than Roman Catholicism does. The fact you link(with more guessing and genralisations) contraception and abortion apply to simply "religious" people shows what a blinkered...

There's 7 billion people on the planet, 6.9999999 billion of who have no "jihads" going on. You're a complete sensationalist who doesn't live in the realms of reality nor truths. Yes there are people who have a "jihad", but they are the small, small minoirty, not to be confused with the vast...

The Crusades finished 800 years ago. What relevance do they have on todays society? Colonialization has been responsible for more deaths since then by a long, long stretch.

Ah you might want to rethink that statment. If you truly think that none of the English Monarchs have decreed that they have God on their side going into a war you're incredibly deluded. Cœur de Lion...

Well the answer would be same for both questions wouldn't it. Both have been good and bad.

That's kind of like asking is England good or evil.

Well there would be millions of examples of this. It's not something though a statistic would be available for because it's an individual choice that's not dictated to by a national leader in most cases. Governments send men to war these days, the days of religious leaders being heads of state...

There's no such thing as an Atheist government imo. I think whatever political system they employ will determine their belief system i.e communism Where did I say it was ok? More pointing out that the perception and opinions put forth that religion is the cause of all the worlds troubles is...

I agree with what you've said there mate. All those stats prove is that with or without religion man will or would have still killed each other enmasse. Human nature is the reason for this.

They didn't die because of their religion, Judaism. They died because of their ethnic background which of course is Jewish. Their deaths were more to do with racism than religion. The same reason Gypsies were also masacred by the Nazis.

Communist regimes are the biggest killers in the history of mankind. China comes in with a conservative 60-65 million deaths alone. To put that into context the Crusades death toll estimates are generally between 5- 9 million and that was over a far far longer period of time. To suggest...
