well I think it's a safe bet to say that over the years since it's creation, christians have killed billions of people through the crusades, the spansish inquisition, and also the misadventures of the english church during the middle ages as well as the french revolution, and the puritans and quakers that burned witches at the stake and killed indians to take their land, and also many other events that I haven't mentioned from waco to the stories you hear about mothers drowning their children because god told them to do it. Christians seem to have a hard time following their number 1 rule, I think there's a lot of crazy people that claim to be christian because it's the accepted thing here and it has the whole forgiveness aspect that they're usually looking for, and since crazy people need to find some way to fit in, so they say they are christian and try to convert everyone else and quote the bible all the time, but in the end a lot of them still don't know right from wrong, and are miseducated into believing the bible supports their warped thinking through passages they read differently than it was meant to be understood. Not one christian alive today has ever been lion bait, they have no right to complain about that, and truthfully the romans didn't just put christians in there, they put anyone they didn't like in there, and most of those people did something they weren't supposed to do in order to find themselves there. Iraq is a different story, it's a continuation of bloods feud between saddam's followers, rival religious militia factions incluing imported mercenaries and weapons from syria and iran, civilians fighting to pretect their homes and families and us and coalition forces trying to kill all of them because they have no idea who the bad guys are. That's why it's such a mess over there, anyone can be the enemy and everyone is mad about different things, some out for revenge, some extremists just kill anyone near them with their suicide and car bombs, and a lot of people just want to see their families stop getting killed and take up arms against the car and suicide bombs but the only way they know is an eye for an eye so they end up doing the same thing. It's not really a crusade, more like a cluster f*ck, especially since we have Islamic soldiers that bow down to the god associated with their enemy, because they're tired of their religion being associated with terrorism. You should know though, that most people have issues with the troops being in iraq, both christian and not, we hate the war, none of us got to vote on going, and it was a bad move from day one on Bush's part. Yet we're the ones that feel the hatred from all over the world for what Bush has done to our country. There's nothing we can really do to stop the war either, it's too late now, these days if you kill one terrorist and 2 are born, and by the time they realize it and pull out there's going to be so many of them wanting revenge for destroying their country and families, that there's gonna be a lot of them trying to find a way to make it through to here I bet, just like a bunch of sperm trying to get in an egg to make one big bad islamic baby in the U.S womb, and that baby is gonna be an angry s.o.b, no way around it.

I really don't think that a single real Christian supported the war in Iraq.
I would go as far as to say it is impossible to justify within Christ's teachings.
I'm not a Christian by the way, just a bit more christian than lots of Christians.

Last time I checked, it was G.W. Bush who was president, not C. R. Taylor, which leaves me out of the aforementioned crusade. I'm also over the things that Nero did thousands of years ago to people who probably aren't even minutely blood-related to me.
Another wonderful example of generalization.
