"Even though creationists deny that the 20th century tyrants had any religious ties, there seems to be a lot of information out there which contradicts those assumptions."

really? where?

Stalin was a devout Jew? Hitler was a practicing Catholic? MAO was what? What about Khan, Alexander the great? All religious nuts? You only wish. You're so full of it your eyes are brown.

Even things blamed on the church, such as the Spanish inquisitions, weren't anything ordered or saw over by the church. They were campaigns carried out by the ruler of the day. They had nothing to do with the church.

Your 200 year figure is a joke. Christians barely existed for the first 300 years. They were persecuted by the Roman empire.

The church didn't even gain any real power until the 1400's, So sorry, your attempt to paint religion as the culprit fails miserably in the face of FACT.

There was ONE "religion" if you insist on calling it that, that did and still does a lot of slaughtering, and that is Islam. But it seems to be the one you embrace, or leave alone at best.

First of all religion encompasses a wide meaning and large groups of people.

However, now it's time to make something a little clear.

You're so full of it your eyes are brown.

You want to sink to that level, fine. You and your religion are a prime example of the hypocrisy that bible thumpers display on a regular basis. From your common gutter dwelling homeless alcoholic begging for handouts on a street corner in the name of (insert Deity or Religion here) to the Pedophile priests that infest religious institutions (and has since its inception), organized religion is a pitiful excuse for anyone to claim the 'moral high ground' on any subject at any time. You're defending the likes of Jim Jones (the original kool aid man himself), Jesse Jackson Jr. and Al Sharpton, get it? Oh no, but if those who practice religion suddenly go against those teachings, they are not religious or devout or a true believer, blah blah blah, here come the pitiful rose-colored-glasses excuses galore.

Freaking hypocrites. I'm surprised more religious folk aren't all for Homosexuality and it's spin offs. I'm expecting any day now to see a want ad such as, oh:

Local pastor needed. Free membership to NAMBLA included!

Organized Religion is an abusive institution that should be consigned to the dustbin of history, IMO.

However, my own personal beliefs are more American in nature. You can believe what you please as long as you don't attempt to force your unsolicited beliefs upon me.
