'Stolen generation', religions different, some bad Christians, and Northern Ireland
Line 56: Line 56:     
The Crusades would not have been nearly as major as they were if the church hadn't have called them a holy war to recapture Jerusalem and put all their support behind it. Another example of the detrimental affect the church had on society: in Italy in the 17-1800's many Jewish children were taken from their parents and banned from seeing them ever again, simply because they had been baptised as a baby by a catholic housekeeper who was employed by the Jewish families. What those children needed was the love and care of their parents, not the harsh upbringing of the catholic church. And you still haven't responded to the Northern Ireland crisis.

:I "dare" call it an 'urban myth' (well, perhaps that's not the best term, how about 'non-existent'?) because it is, and I do so 'down under', because that's where I am.  Nobody has been able to name these supposed 'wealth of aboriginals', which is very strong evidence that there is no 'wealth of aboriginals' that were 'stolen'.

: I never said that all agreed that Mohammad was a prophet; that actually supports my point that they all disagree.  If they all disagree, then they can't all be correct, but it does not follow that they are all ''incorrect''; it is still possible for one of them to be correct, yet you lump them all in together.
 +
: Neither did I say that Christians have never done anything bad.  Sure, you can quote me some instances of Christians doing bad things (now, however, consistent with Christianity), but a few examples does not meant that Christianity per se is bad, and as I pointed out, it has done an enormous amount of good.  And in fact it has primarily been Protestantism that has done the most good, whereas most of your examples are of non-Protestants.
 +
: Northern Ireland is a political dispute, not a religious one, even though the two political sides are split along nominally religious lines.
