And nobody even paid attention to my comment about the Albigensian Crusades (initiated by the Pope) that resulted in a few hundred thousand non Muslims being killed.

Quoted: For the TLDR crowd: Violence is not a Christian doctrine. Violence perpetrated in the name of Christianity is heretical, no excuse or justification for it. View Quote The church did shitloads of un-Christian things, and to my limited historical knowledge, this is what led to the Reformation. People were able to read the word of the Lord when the Bible was translated and printed. As has been mentioned in this thread, for centuries, it was not something the common man could access and read.... and they came to the conclusion that "wait, Jesus didn't want us doing this shit!" (I could be inaccurate on the history, causes and degree to which the common person's knowledge of the Bible contributed to the Reformation) Anyway, I always ask the following two questions when someone tries to pull the "yeah, well Crusades" or whatever: ONE - How many people did Jesus Christ kill? (none. zero. zilch.) TWO - How many people did Muhammad kill? (hundreds if not thousands by his own hand, with his own sword) Anyone who pulls the "Christians did evil things in the past!" as a retort to what followers of Islam have always done and continue to do is deflecting. |

Quoted: So, you’re asking me to watch this video, cross reference it against my understanding of things, and break down where “Dr. Bill” is once again misleading or outright wrong... again. I’ve spent way too much time doing just that related to previous crap from that man since he first because a thing to bother, or think it worth continuing. The burden of proof is on him to tell me why he’s an authority - and he’s failed miserable. His continued irrelevant tossing about of his “PhD” status doesn’t help. There are plenty of legitimate historians and what not who’ve written plenty on these subjects. Get you history however you see fit. Even plenty of videos on YouTube, no doubt, but, they don’t hit the right tone with a certain crowd here, so they wallow in low rating while as “Dr. Bill” gets threads started. Then again, neither is Warner. But, he tells you things that are in line with your prejudices, so there you go. Let the circle jerk continue. Don’t let me get in the way. What do I know though, I’m just a lowly, bigoted ‘teener. Do you except the initial “Dr. Bill” premise that the way to compare “Jihad” and “Crusade” as a concept is to look at the locations and numbers of battled done in those names? Do you believe those which he plotted are chosen and depicted using the same criteria? Have you studied the rise of other world civilizations? How would you react to some Leftist rambling about the evil United States by citing the Papal crusades, the Spanish conquest of the Americas, the Indian Removal Act (which he would insist was a “genocide,” naturally) and President Bush’s use of the term Crusade, thus linking different States, contexts, motivations, and eras into one forced narrative in order to make a polemic point and riled up a bunch of idiots prone to anti-Western and anti- American bias? Would you: 1) demand anyone point out which particular historical event in the rabble was inaccurate? 2) suggest that maybe some context would help? Also... have you heard of the sacking of Constantinople by Crusaders? Any thoughts as to why that’s left out? Would you consider the Spanish Reconquista a “Crusade?” Why or why not? First, I’m not defending the video or “Dr. Bill”, I’ve neither seen this current video, or to my knowledge, any of Dr. Bill’s other videos. My points were mainly in response to the posts in this thread about the subject, rather than the video in the OP. I should have made that clear. Secondly, and I know I’ll get flamed for this, but the Crusades were not something that could be justified with biblical scripture. They were outside the realm of biblical doctrine. I understand why they did it, but history would have perhaps judged them less harshly had they not chosen to use Christianity as not only a motivation, but also a justification. It was neither. In a nutshell, that’s the post I’m trying to make. You can’t justify the Crusades with biblical doctrine, but you can justify jihad with the teachings of the koran. The double standard and unwillingness to criticize anything islam is not only tiresome, it’s counterproductive. We’re often told by leftists that unless you’re a scholar you can’t criticize islam, yet those same people have no problem pointing out how violent the Old Testament is, never realizing the supreme irony. ETA: Sorry if my response seems rushed, I’m out of time at the moment as I about to board, but I’ll do my best to come back and continue the conversation, thanks. That video star with the strawman presumption that evoking the historical Christian concept of Crusade is supposedly the only argument used to counter the concept of “Jihad” (as opposed to the any sober comparison of the rise of Islam relative to the rise of any other human civilization). It then sets about seemingly creating a broad definition of “Jihad” and thus allowing a depiction of every slave raid or skirmish along the expanding borders of Islamic civilization as a “Jihad Battle.” It then established a very narrow definition of “Crusade,” and depicts only large scale, named battles, and only those against Islamic armies. The intent is obvious: to make the history of violence and warfare fought in the name of Christianity look like a meager joke in comparison to the monolithic onslaught of the Saracens (which continues today, naturally). Some here eat that shit up. It speaks to them. The video made no mention of the Koran. It instead claimed to compare like with like regarding the concepts of Crusades and Jihad. |

Everyone should have freedom to choose a religion they want to believe in, or to choose none if that is their desire.
Religion forced at the point of a sword or barrel of a gun, is not freedom of religion. Religion forced into a government to rule the people, is not freedom from religion. Any religion that organizes any type of control of the people, is fundamentally flawed. |

I’m not condemning their defensive actions, I’m simply saying seeking to justify them through the teachings of the New Testament is foolish. If a person wishes to claim that later writings, decrees, councils and codices carry the same weight as the original New Testament doctrine, then state that, don’t bring the rest of Christianity into the argument. I’m of the belief that the stuff that came after is bunk, by corrupt men seeking to justify their lust, greed and malice. I typed several more paragraphs but deleted them, I don’t have time to get down into the weeds today, long night last night and a lot to do today, sorry, but I appreciate all you who have taken the time to respond. I will try and check back, if time permits. I haven’t gotten any “all are equal” from B_A’s posts, he’s even stated that islam’s violence continues to this day. Mink’s? Well, spot on. TLDR: They exist, of course, but not in the teachings of Jesus. I don’t have a problem with the defensive wars, but I do have a problem with claiming they were “holy” wars. That’s an oxymoron. |

As far as the doctrine of war, like it or not, it’s not part of New Testament teaching. You can point to sects of Christianity, who came much later, as teaching that doctrine, but you won’t find it in the original. And there again, we’re supposed to make a distinction between the “radicals” who “claim they’re islamic” and all the other muslims, but it’s all good to do the exact opposite with Christianity. Some nut job with six people in his church does something terrible? It’s “Christians” who are the problem. The Catholic Church is a sect of Christianity, a large one, but a sect none the less, not the whole of Christianity, by far. I could give more examples, but you get the point. It’s hypocrisy, and patently obvious to anyone except the hypocrites. |
