Actually my apartment is full of multiple book on genocide, including ones by leftists and yes, even the Armenians.

You suspect wrong.

But even had you suspected correctly, my initial point still stands. One can indeed commit mass murder to Muslims and leftists.

Consider Hitler’s Commissar order, considered by historians to be the beginning of the Holocaust. It targeted a group of very bad apples, but went way too far. (And no, I am not arguing that Hitler was a conservative or that you are similar to Hitler, only that we must love our enemies too.)

As Christians, we should not fear martyrdom. That indeed was a period of explosive growth for Christianity. Instead we should fear not listening to the Gospel ourselves.

Matthew 5:43-48Revised Standard Version (RSV)

Love for Enemies

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you salute only your brethren, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

I do not want to argue anymore, we have both made our points. I will leave you in peace now on this thread.

Do you consider Charles Martel a Christian or a ‘mass murderer’. Every war included killing the ‘camp followers’.

You never actually answered that one.

Your version of ‘Peaceful Christianity’ is why the Levant and Mahgreb have been muslim for 1500 years now. And all the residents going to hell on their death for not believing in Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

But hey, their Christian ancestors didn’t kill anyone so I guess that’ ok with you.
