Quote:Willing to justify their faith with reason rather than fundamentalism or violence.
To quote my Jewish grandfather "ARE YOU EFFEN KITTING ME?" (my grandmother only let him say "EFFEN", and had trouble with his "D").
Ok, so the first 1700 years of wanton bloodlust doeasn't really count, since they don't do it now. But the reason that they don't do it now is not because it isn't Christlike. After all, they were being Christlike when they were slowly burning the flesh off of the feet of an infidel until he would convert (or at least say so).
No, it's because the rest of the world cried out "Enough!".
Oh, and don't think I am only speaking of Catholics. Martin Luther (not the American) incited his followers to kill for the sake of their Lord as well.
