Interesting read.....

i was able to understand and almost accept the first couple and one of the others. however, the writer became inconsistent and incoherent when discussing the war in iraq. are we to believe that this is a religious war now? i thought it was oil. the anti-war campaigners need to stick with one argument. anyway, the more i read, the less sense this person was making. it started off pretty well, but it fell apart quickly.

I don't think you can equate the crusades & inquisition with modern fundamentalism.

I think the motivation is different. The crusades were an attempt to increase land holdings for the church, as was the inquisition.

Of course maybe I'm wrong......maybe there are a few crazy fundamentalists who are expecting to become rich and powerful from peddling these wacked out beliefs.

Yes.....thats the guy.

IMHO.......the Christian parallel to the Muslim extremist.

BTW....I watched a Simpsons episode the other night that had Homer predicting the rapture.........some very good (and hilarious) points about this nonsense were illustrated.
