Have we had any wars of religion?

[festus]

Not any to my knowledge. There is just something about masked raving lunatics wearing diapers on their heads tied on with fanbelts ( to borrow a description from a certain US congressman ) killing thousands of our people and swearing to do more that makes it very hard not to start a war.

I think we'd kill them just the same if they were athiests or even Christians. You start killin us we kill you.

Having read the article, it seems that they use "wars of religion" as a euphemism for our "culture wars."

That said, reaction to European "wars of religion" seems to have destroyed religion there.

Have we had any wars of religion?

On, this forum? Definately. Views other than Christianity are not accepted well.

I think the reason this nation hasn't had an all out religion war is because it tries so hard to be tolerant.

I think we have had minor religion wars for some time now. I think abortion is a religion war. The right of a woman to murder her baby vs. G-d's Commandment against murder.

Another religion war is the war between homosexuals and G-dfearing society.

Granted the only major bloodshed thus far would be the blood of the unborn (and that's no small number), but I think it's only a matter of time. Remember, the United States is an extremely young country when compared to Europe, Asia or the Middle East.

Good point. The best and brightest of Europe came to the US preciously to escape the loons back home that had no problem going to war for any and every reason, religion being just one such excuse.

It is sad though that opposing oligarchy and the killing people based on age discrimination is now according to Old Europe something that only the extremely religious do.

Have we had any wars of religion?

Yes. Religious cults have murdered each other here just like the Protestants and Catholics have done in Ireland. Research the Mountain Meadows Massacre in Utah. Mormons murdered a wagon train of men, women and children because they were Baptists. Lutherens murdered Mormons, etc, etc, etc...Our history has many religious conflicts, all compliments of the Leonids.

Like all trash in modern day journalism.

Their premise is a lie and then the selectively edit facts to promote the premise.

The US has not been even in one religious war therefore religious wars cannot continue.

What the heck is the author talking about? The closest thing to a religious war in the U.S. is forcing us Baptists to eat fish on friday! The only religious war we got going is against the left that doesn't believe in anything!
