There may not be religious wars in great number now because you only see what the media shows you. Explain whats happening in Iraq it didn't start out as a religious war but its turned into that now. People are blowing one another up because they are this or that. There are still far more murders ever committed in the name of religion than any other reason. No matter how many little "facts" you dig up.
For two or three centuries, many Protestants have given figures concerning the total number of people killed directly or indirectly by the Papacy during the Middle Ages. The numbers given include 50 million, 68 million, 100 million, 120 million, and 150 million.
For example, it has been estimated by careful and reputed historians of the Catholic Inquisition that 50 million people were slaughtered for the crime of "heresy" by Roman persecutors between the A.D. 606 and the middle of the 19th century.

As a nurse, a NURSE! You should be well aware of a mentally ill person and one who is not. You should also be aware that religion has little to do with said mental illness. That being said you can instantly take out the Most Notorious criminals you just mentioned. Taking those OUT of the equation you have little argument to stand on, but hey we will go with it anyhow.
Does it ever occur to you that these kids are from destitute life styles with nothing to loose? That there is a cultural defecate in these places? Does it ever occur to Christians that instead of doing their missions in the Bahamas that they should try here are home? What happened to soup kitchen in the hood, is that only for Catholics? Because I sure as heck don't' see anyone else down there. Any of you volunteer to work at the clinics? Maybe not put that nice new alter in the mega church so that you can help educate these kids? Of course not. If its not in your precious bible, it just doesn't matter. And you TRUELY wonder why people see Christians as hypocrites?? you all ***** about the Catholics but at least they are DOING something!!!

Boston Strangler was in the 60s! Damn.
Ask yourself What link does religious sexual repression have on deviant sexual fantasies? It's not always the case, and I don't know how often religious repression of sex plays a role, but it plays a role.

some people are f'd up. what do u expect. granted, porn is hardly to blame. if that were the case there should be 90% of the population committing those same crimes.
porn is just a pathetic excuse for their behavior.
and i dont understand what u are trying to compare exactly.
crime cannot compare to war, they are 2 different topics.

Considering murdering someone, are you? What is with you?
How many died in Iraq since the start of the war? Those are all religious deaths. How many in one year? How about the Holocaust? The crusades? I could go on...

The serial killers you mentioned were individual deviants -- most of them mentally ill or victims of years of systematic abuse.
Religiously motivated wars and acts of terrorism can motivate people into committing all manner of atrocities that they never would have even considered if they had been acting as individuals. All because those people were duped into believing their enemy was less than human...

Bundy killed 33 women and he blamed it on porn yet one of my students was one of his teachers and knows that was a lot of bs. Pope Innicence the 3rd slaughtered people for 30 years in Europe. There is a difference.

I'm sorry, but is "It's better than murder" really the best endorsement you have for your religion? I really don't see how this comparison could possibly work out in your favour.
