I was going to let this go because we have gotten way off topic, but some of this stuff is so far out there I just have to respond. Then I will let anything further go.
A Christian can tell another Christian they should not commit genocide because it violates their moral code. No atheist could tell Stalin that he shouldn’t become the most powerful man on earth by murdering millions.
Where in the Bible does it say to kill witches?
What verses support the inquisition?
So if I dress like a Muslim and run around yelling “Allah wills it!” I am magically transformed into a Muslim? People will pervert any teaching if they can use it to gain power, Christianity was not exempt. However to say these men were genuine believers is absurd.
Bad analogy, If you made the claim that people wiped front to back because they were Christians I would ask you to point to where Jesus said that. You claim that the Crusades were done by Christians in the name of their faith, so please point to where Christ said to kill Muslims?
If I saw a fellow Christian using a bad source in a debate I’d point out that they should not be using that source.
Nope, if you look at the original text I only said the inquisition. It looks like even at the highest estimates for the inquisition, more people were killed in Cambodia in a week.
I was not talking about the Japanese invading the US, I was talking about the US having to invade Japan.
I never said Germany was going to invade the US. I was pointing out that invasions kill far more people than two atomic bombs. So by dropping the two bombs we saved millions of lives because we didn’t have to invade Japan.
