Talk:Christianity

What is being challanged in this edit? The the quoted material was actually asserted, or that the assertion is correct? If the later, I think the place to challange it is at the original source of the quote. Heart♥Gold ^tx 09:03, 25 June 2007 (CDT)

Thanks, MM, for this edit. I concur. Heart♥Gold ^tx 09:32, 25 June 2007 (CDT)

I have reinserted the following with HG's comment in quotes --- Although Christianity has been responsible for many deaths a Christian apologist recently justified this saying, "The number of people killed in the name of Christianity pales in comparison to the number of people killed in the name of atheistic ideologies such as communism (Mao, Stalin)."---- --Bob_M (talk) 12:55, 3 July 2007 (CDT)

It would be interesting to analyze, based on percentage of population, how the crusades and inquisition and pogroms compared to Naziism and Stalinism. I don't pretend to know the answer.--PalMD^-Goatspeed! 12:59, 3 July 2007 (CDT)

Yes, I guess it would. If I remember my history correctly the 100 years war should count in there too.--Bob_M (talk) 13:17, 3 July 2007 (CDT)

You might make a case for the Thirty Years War, but hardly the 100 Years one. --AKjeldsen^Godspeed! 17:18, 3 July 2007 (CDT)

Do we get to count all religious wars/killing as "the other side" to compare the "atheist" killers to? Or only Christianity? human^{be in} 17:23, 3 July 2007 (CDT)

God only knows.--PalMD^-Goatspeed! 17:43, 3 July 2007 (CDT)

And then you have all the people killed through Acts of God. This could get complicated. We may need to form a committee or something. --AKjeldsen^Godspeed! 18:02, 3 July 2007 (CDT)

[edit] Arminians?

Should we be clear that this has nothing to do with Armenia so it doesn't get corrected and recorrected forever? human^{be in} 23:06, 3 September 2007 (CDT)

Good call. I thought it was in fact referring to the Armenian Church. --AKjeldsen^Godspeed! 03:35, 4 September 2007 (CDT)

Thanks, me too, but I figured if someone corrected it back to "i" they must have a reason, so I looked it up on WP. And added the footnote to prevent future confusion. human^{be in} 13:21, 4 September 2007 (CDT)
