Quote, "In the Third Crusade, after Richard the Lion-Hearted captured Acre in 1191, he ordered 3,000 captives -- many of them women and children -- taken outside the city and slaughtered. Some were disemboweled in a search for swallowed gems. Bishops intoned blessings. Infidel lives were of no consequence. As Saint Bernard of Clairvaux declared in launching the Second Crusade: 'The Christian glories in the death of a pagan, because thereby Christ himself is glorified'."

Why are you falsely accusing Jesus Christ & those who trust & obey Jesus, of doing something against the Word of God.
I recommend you het the book, 'The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam & the Crusades' by Robert Spencer. You seem to be believing the myths rather than the truth. Do some more study on the Crusades.

I simply can't believe how modern Christians can deny their own history. The horrors of the Crusades and the Inquisitions are part of the legitimate history of all Christian faiths. Denying the true history of Christianity only illustrates how modern Christians are disconnected from reality. There must be something seriously wrong with their morals, if they imagine lying about the past relieves them of responsibility for the historic evil their faith has done.
"With or without religion, good people do good things and evil people do evil things. For good people to do evil things, that takes religion."

Again, your point is what? You have impressed all with your history lesson, and I bet as a Christian I can come up with even more examples of people using the faith for a political ends attempting to justify it. Why doesn this in any way, knock the validity or belief in Christianity? At least attempt to make a point or stop wasting our time.

Again, Crusades = Catholicism, not Christianity.

I love how they keep insisting that Catholics are not Christians. Sad that they don't know their own history.
