Muslims do not assimilate...
Quite the contrary they attempt to implement sharia law at every possible chance they can...
While many others still perfer to kill those opposed to Islam some still use swords or large knives but many have evolved with the times and perfer guns and explosives...
Assimilate? I dont think so...

You don't have to have a creed.
You believe it's true regardless.
That was my point, simply.
Christians forced entire nations to convert at the point of a sword

Oh, you mean the Roman Catholic Church. You should change your title to "Church Of Rome" or better yet Vatican forced entire nations to convert at the point of a sword, and killed about 50 million Christians who refused to bow to the Pope's blasphemies.

When was the last time a whole heap of Christians outright murdered some Muslims in large numbers?
Hmmmm.... Well, you could look at the French in the late 1800s to mid 1900s for examples of largely "Christian" folks massacring hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Muslims in Algeria, and other places they held sway at the time. But that would require a certain amount of intellectual honesty on the subject, which I appreciate is an awful lot to ask, given that the worlds powers are bent on turning people away from reason and wisdom.

I have a creed
Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem, Creatorem caeli et terrae,
et in Iesum Christum, Filium Eius unicum, Dominum nostrum,
qui conceptus est de Spiritu Sancto, natus ex Maria Virgine,
passus sub Pontio Pilato, crucifixus, mortuus, et sepultus,
descendit ad infernos, tertia die resurrexit a mortuis,
ascendit ad caelos, sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis,
inde venturus est iudicare vivos et mortuos.
Credo in Spiritum Sanctum,
sanctam Ecclesiam catholicam, sanctorum communionem,
remissionem peccatorum,
carnis resurrectionem,
vitam aeternam.
Amen.

Interesting, that you think I care about your creed is mind boggling.
That you wrote it in Latin means I don't know what it says, which defeats the purpose entirely.
"I have a creed"
"...Latin words..."
Is what I got out of that.
I believe in God the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord:
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;
the third day he rose from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

Yes, I understand. It's not much my concern the type of spirituality you engage in.
I simply wanted to point out that the lying manipulators gave you the religion and Bible you have which would not exist as is without the intervention of Roman Theocracy and that wonderful man Constantine!
Rome was a haven of tolerance for any religion as long as you paid lip service to the Emporer you could do as you pleased, and they flourished.
Theocracy turned them into heresy hunters and cost millions their lives inspired by the Bible and it's concept of religious superiority to justify untold horrors because Joshua conquered Canaan for Yahweh or some other excuse based on a story in the Bible.
You should at least thank them for giving you the Bible though, lying and manipulating is still the function of Christianity so are we any better because we are not Catholic?
Rotten tree, rotten fruit.

"and cost millions their lives inspired by the Bible"
- and you started Off so well.
If you fail to see that 'catholicism' is a mimick-christianity,
started by Constantine who was a pagan and his mother a witch who spiritually ruled him,
under motto "if you cant beat 'em join 'em" ,
then why make a comment, alltogether...?

What on earth gives you the impression that:
A. I didn't know Catholicism had pagan roots?
B. I am incorrect in stating the Bible was used to justify untold horrors?
I of course know as does everyone who cares that Catholicism had pagan tendencies, it was never an issue so I happened not to need to mention it because regardless the Bible WAS used to justify untold horrors.
From Constantine until the end of slavery in America and to a degree still today.
What do you think you are accomplishing with your short rant anyway?
