The Roman Catholic Church sure as hell didn't kill 26 million people.

The Conquistadors and the Crusaders certainly killed hundreds of thousands if not millions combined... (but they were a little lacking in the technology of war)

Why do you continue to attempt to excuse the attrocities comitted by these evil men claiming to represent Jesus? (even while acting in diametric opposition to his teachings)

Why not just admit that their actions were evil, instead of trying to excuse those actions with some lame "but they didn't kill as many" excuse mongering?

It would do wonders for your credibility.

Point out the statement where I condoned these events. I'm waiting.

(Why do you continue to evade the questions presented to you? Are you completely unable to rationally and honestly look at historical events, without allowing your anti-religious biases to show? Surely, war is terrible, as is the killing of innocents. Nowhere have I said otherwise. I will continue to assert, even though you have yet to honestly address the issue, that anyone who says "Christianity is responsible for the most heinous atrocities in history" is historically ignorant at best, intellectually dishonest at worst.)

This is of course, an exaggeration. To come up with that kind of number one has to blame the spread of smallpox amongst native Americans on a belief that the Europeans spread the disease on purpose and they did it in the name of Christ. Denying your exaggeration is not making an excuse for their actions.

It's no accident that they came out of a country that had been very heavily influenced by Islam after 700 years of it.
