yeah the crusades was a comic book. i forget a nearly 200 year old war against the "heretics" was make believe. killed thousands upon thousands of people for god. More like the bible is a comic book. a comic book of crap
The "war against the heretics" was the Inquisitions of the Roman Catholic Church, not the crusades.
Your grasp on church history is astoundingly pathetic.

I make sure to commit blasphemy against the holy ghost on a daily basis so that I cannot be saved.
So a death-bed-confessional on my part would be pointless.

What does that have to do with anything? You didn't cite your source with the new material you copy/pasted as if it was your own creative thought.
It's blatant plagiarism.

It also helped to spread it when the church threaten to slaughter anyone who wouldn't believe.
What are you talking about? There was no "church" in Jerusalem where Christianity started. People were meeting in secret in houses for fear of the Sanhedrin and Pharisees. There was no open "church" to persecute anyone in Jerusalem 2,000 years ago.
Then Christians were savagely hunted and murdered for 300 years under the Roman Emperors. It wasn't until Constantine that Christianity was legalized, and it was the 2nd successor after Constantine who made Christianity the state religion of the Roman Empire.
It's almost like you get your church history from comic books.
Yes, Constantine - the man who murdered his wife and son - great fellow, all around. He still coined his currency with "SOL INVICTUS" His invincible, and "principle" protector.

lol - "oh my god". it was more the list of passages from scripture which I was referring to. I believe you are pouncing on something which is hardly here, nor there.
Speaking of plagiarism, have you read the Old Testament lately?
More importantly - Why was the the First Christian Emperor (Read: The Pope) still praising the Sun, a pagan symbol?

You're actually trying to justify your deceit??
And on top of that your trying to use the "Two wrongs make a right" fallacy?

he Crusades were a series of religiously sanctioned military campaigns, waged by much of Roman Catholic Europe, particularly the Franks of France and the Holy Roman Empire. The specific crusades to restore Christian control of the Holy Land were fought over a period of nearly 200 years, between 1095 and 1291. Other campaigns in Spain and Eastern Europe continued into the 15th century. The Crusades were fought mainly by Roman Catholic forces (taking place after the East–West Schism and mostly before the Protestant Reformation) against Muslims who had occupied the near east since the time of the Rashidun Caliphate, although campaigns were also waged against pagan Slavs, pagan Balts, Jews, Russian and Greek Orthodox Christians, Mongols, Cathars, Hussites, Waldensians, Old Prussians, and political enemies of the various popes.[1] Orthodox Christians also took part in fighting against Islamic forces in some Crusades. Crusaders took vows and were granted a plenary indulgence.[1][2]
These mass killings were repeated during each of the 8 additional crusades until the final, 9th, crusade in 1272 CE. Both Christians and Muslims believed that they were fighting on God's side against Satan; they believed that if they died on the battlefield they would be given preferential treatment in the Christian Heaven or the Muslim Paradise. Battles were fought with a terrible fierceness and a massive loss of life. Over a 200 year period, perhaps 200,000 people were killed. The Muslim warrior Salah a-Din subsequently recaptured Jerusalem from the Christians.
ol, your grasp on Christian morality, forgiveness and compassion is patently paltry at best. Your true character shines forth like shadows from a cave.

It's impossible to commit that sin today.
Jesus isn't doing miracles in front of your eyes.

Wow you're a stooge. We haven't discussed Christian morality in general, nor my morality in particular. Not have we discussed forgiveness as a concept in Christianity in general or my thoughts/practices of forgiveness in particular. And besides that, you have no basis to discuss anyone's "morality" or "character" when a page ago you were proved to be a plagiarist on an internet forum.

Christians like to tell me that, but I'll take it up with Yahweh.
After I've spat on him.
Let me know how that turns out for ya.

I'm well aware of what the Crusades were. Your error was in claiming they were against the "heretics". That wasn't the Crusades, that was the "inquisitions" of the Catholic church.
Christians were the ones being murdered during the inquisitions ironically.
