Christian Teacher writes letter to school newspaper saying "Gays deserve to die"

But still, there are a multitude of them who, I believe, don't join ISIS for the simple reason that ISIS is an Islamic organization, and not a Christian one.

That would be in such opposition to the teachings of Christianity so, that would really not be Christian:

I think it depends on where you read from the Bible. Or if you take greater inspiration from books written by "saints" (not your case, you're a protestant), or on what the priest / pastor says.

Anyway, I was expecting the "they're not true Christians" answer. But for the whole world a Christian is one who considers himself Christian. If one
were to take every man who considers himself Christian and make a list of who or what makes one a "not a true Christian", and then add those lists
together, then every group of Christians would exclude all the others, so in the end all Christians would end up as "not true Christians".

And if one who considers himself Christian tried to impose his religion on everyone else, then every non-Christian would consider him Christian. Same as we call Muslims both those who act nicely and those who are pieces of shit.

The wars were strongly influenced by the religious change of the period and the conflict and rivalry that it produced. Nevertheless, the combatants cannot be neatly categorised by religion, nor were they divided by religion alone.

Ever since the great schism, afaik the religion wars were basically political struggles. Nowadays you have "democracy" that glues nations together in alliances, and you have to choose either NATO or Russia. Back then in Europe you sided either with the Catholics or the Orthodox, and if you were unlucky, you were either a pagan or a protestant.

But hey, when was religion not involved in politics?
