Well said.
I think I know what we're in for, on this forum, in the days and weeks ahead. I hope very much to be proven wrong. Beyond that, I will not comment ...
... other than to simply state this: those who hold 'contrary opinions', shall we say, best serve them by indulging in decent, objective debate ... so that the merits of one OR the other receive a proper test. Left-wingers here who genuinely believe in their viewpoints should consider this forum a valid testing-ground for the views they hold.
To such people, I say .. 'bring it on'. You think you argue from a meritorious standpoint ? Fine. PROVE IT.

'Christian terrorism'. Dear me .....
Very emotively put, if I may say so .. and surely, unfairly ?
So tell me this. Based on the teachings of Christ, can you prepare for us a list of those terrorist organisations to be found in the world who ARE such, because of Christianity ?
A list of their 'terrorist atrocities' in the past couple of decades might also help.
Perhaps Christian terrorists have flown jets into skyscrapers recently ? Blown up embassies ? Downed commercial aircraft ? Committed attacks with knives, etc, on city streets, such as in places like Paris or London ?
Try a comparison list ... one side showing such attacks from the Muslim side (those telling us they act in the name of Islam) .. and the other, making the same point in the 'service' of Christianity. Count up examples on each list you compile, and show any measure of parity between the numeracy of them.
If that's too difficult, just try listing the numbers of terrorist organisations in existence, on the Muslim side, then on the Christian side. Show us a comparable prevalence of them drawing 'justification' from Christianity ...
.. or, try this .... show me a comparable commitment, enshrined in Christianity, to the Muslim concept of 'Jihad'.
How many Christians go around trying to blow people up, expecting a reward of dozens of virgins in heaven, for their efforts ? Since when do they commit the cruelty of strapping bombs on to children, then make them walk around in city streets, knowing that all they have ahead of them is death and carnage ?
How many Christians profess to love 'death' more than life, just before committing an atrocity ??
You see, 'Ricky' ... your assertions just do not scan. An objective assessment of what you'd argue for just isn't possible.
But if you doubt me, then, OK. Prove me wrong !!
