Over Obamas comments concerning the evils perpetrated by the Christian Religion.... Perhaps they should be reminded of this guy..
"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice... And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people.
Yours truly
Adolph ..... Yea, I added this closing...But please STFU all of you people who are all over the POTUS Today over this comment at a Prayer Breakfast.......
Outrage after Obama compares ISIS to the Crusades in comments at National Prayer Breakfast

"Unless we get on our high horse and think that this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ," Obama said. "In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ."
"So it is not unique to one group or one religion," Obama said. "There is a tendency in us, a simple tendency that can pervert and distort our faith."

I've often wondered how many Europeans left organized religion because so many Christian leaders were silent during the Holocaust.
(Special cases Spain - supported the Fascist regime, Ireland - hurt kids and women

(45,319 posts)from the bodies of civil criminals in the Papal States, each ordered by the Pope. This is not Inquisition or anything religious, this was about temporal rule and it was the practice for hundreds of years for crimes ranging from murder to pickpocketing all of them tried by the Vatican and executed by order of the Pontiff. Not really the old, old days.
