Yeah...we noticed how against killing catholicks were with the Crusades, the Albigensians, the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre, the Wars of the Reformation.
You're against "killing" when it suits you, C/L. Stop being so holier-than-thou. The church has murdered far more than its fair share.
That's like saying America/Americans are pro slavery because we owned slaves a couple hundred years ago.
Sorry you think I'm being "holier-than-thou." That is not my intent.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
