Bingo!
“Christianity in it’s own right is hundreds of millions if not a billion strong...”
Only if you accept the intrinsic Christianity of Catholics and other mainstream denominations. You do, don’t you?
Still haven’t figured it out?
Still haven’t figured out it’s not up to me.
Still haven’t figured out who it IS up to.
Still haven’t figured it out.
After all this time.
The crusades, are something liberals bring up all the time in equating Christians with muslims...as if generalized warfare is somehow different for Christians than anyone and everyone else.
Our troops “blow up” bad guys in Afghanistan, but in the liberal mind what distinguishes troops from either side, be it nazis from U.S. troops or whatever, it is merely the uniform.
It’s a curious infliction...cops are no diffeent than criminals and gangs for instance, because both sides carry guns.
In the liberal world, up is down, and down is up.
LOL...
The Joun and TereZa Heinz-Kerry estate?

oooops...John
It was your count, not mine! Apparently, your sensible subconscious is coming around!
“In the liberal world, up is down, and down is up.”
I’m confused—is this a religious discussion or a political discussion?
“You obviously know NOTHING.
there, fixed it”.
You sure did xcamel!
But, I think he was just trying to give you the benefit of the doubt myself!
x: One word: Crusades. Now I’m finished.
AM: Oh, that’s special. You gotta go back 800 years to make your point. Might as well toss in the Inquisition while you are at it.
A point? I missed it.
Why would the Crusades be considered an inappropriate response to militant Islam?
I don’t get why so many people act like the Crusades were an unjust action against innocent, harmless Middle Easterners who were just minding their own business.
The muslims were on the verge of conquering Europe. Considering what we know about muslim behavior, strong action was imperative.
If the Crusades didn’t happen, likely I’d be wearing a burka now.
No thanks.
ConservativeDude told you that *You obviously know NOTHING about the Crusades.* and you fixed it, telling him that he was wrong and that it should have been *You obviously know NOTHING.*
I totally concur with your correction about yourself.
I have no doubt that many people consider themselves Christians.
If you think there’s something inaccurate about that number, why don’t you just come right out and say so Bucky?
I know it might be too much for you to absorb, but saying you’re one doesn’t make it so...that still isn’t how it works.
no more than Adolf Hitler reading scripture to the masses made him one...
attending church...
doing good...
being a member of a certain denomination...
those still aren’t the criteria
A moment of clarity!

exactly...meanwhile... the other one is aware that he’s confused.
LOL!
Nah...you regularly give people a complete free pass in that department.
By your count, you’re obviously including most of the mainstream denominations, you know, those whose innate Christianity by virtue of the practice of their faith you deny.
Almost all...and in reality, who am I to say an obscure sect is or isn’t legitimate based on their understanding of scripture?
I haven’t been placed in a position of authority Bucket.
Nor have you.
and one would think by now that you would have begun to at least clue into the Biblical Truth that the final judge is Christ. He will ultimately determine who is or isn’t a legitimate Christian.
Let me put it this way to you, don’t let anyone, or any group, or any doctrine, or any idea, or your pride, or anything at all PERIOD stand between you and Jesus Christ Himself!
If I were you, I’d be more focused in that regard, it’s your right and it’s your destiny!
Catholics are an obscure sect?
That would make them reverse Christians, Christian Satanists or just pathetic anti-christians.
And why should "Satanism" just be limited to one particular theology or group of theologies? (All religions, including the ancient, defunct pagan religions have their demons and devils.) The answer to the question is something most of these so-called satanists will run away from...
Can anyone decipher this? Any takers?
(Bucky-wanna-cracker? That's all I come up with!)
