"They're no different than medieval Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox societies who were more than happy to spill each other's blood. Aside from a few crusades into Muslim held areas, that's pretty much all they did."


You need to speak to your educator about a refund.

Of course, I realize perfectly well that the Middle Ages was a Renaissance, if you will, of interfaith understanding and outreach. No Christian would so much as speak ill of a fellow Christian of a different sect, and actual violence was unheard of.

Sometimes I just get these crazy ideas that medieval Christianity wasn't very Christian, and led to a number of wars, purges, and upheavals before finally getting back to its roots, and settling down into the reasonable, responsible religion it is today.

I'll see if Gov Schwartznegger will send me a check.
