My minister just gave a sermon this past Sunday called "Slay Bells Ring ---- Are You Listening?"
Her point had to do with the evil activities of King Herod, though. And all the people he killed just because he could. The Crusaders were something like that. I do remember reading somewhere that they claimed to be Christians, though many wars were and are fought based on religious reasons.
I just don't understand why, though, when most religions teach peace and love and acceptance and tolerance.

I don't assimilate True Christians. I don't assimilate anyone. I leave that to the Borg.
Assimilate: to absorb.
Also, Jesus did tell his "disciples" that a time would come when they would need to take up their swords. Too, the Bible does say to kill people. "Suffer not a witch to live" comes to mind, as well as tales of invading countries and killing those that lived there.
Please don't confuse Christianity with a pacifist faith; it is not.

Your question shows how little you know or understand for that matter { assimilate isn't even close to being used in proper context } And our government is being overrun with fanatical jack-offs like Georgie " the burning " Bush who says all the time as a excuse for his most stupid , outrageous and downright illegal of actions " god talked to me and told me to do it " ! People like you are deluded , ignorant and usually morons to boot .

The Crusades have NO Biblical basis. Read the NT.
Were any of the Believers in the NT ever warlike?
NO!!!!!!!!!!!
The early Believers never participated in anything like the Crusades!
TRUE Believers would NEVER have participated in something like the Crusades!
That goes against EVERYTHING that Jesus taught about peace & love!

Just spend ONE DAY here in this forum.
You will see very clearly that Christians are hate mongers and bigots.

Because they are open minded and that means nothing sticks in their heads I would guess
Its easy to lump people in one group so you feel justified in your biased hating of them
