If the OP meant a majority of people who ‘make a big deal about not having sex before marriage’, fine. I understood his comment to be directed at all Christians who, in general, are against sexual relations outside of marriage. Though that doesn’t always correspond with practice.

Political creeds and various ideologies (looking at you, nationalism) have been far greater drivers of conflict than religion has been. The fact that Christianity/religion has been the cause of most deaths/wars in history is an off-hand comment, not a serious claim.

While reprehensible, neither of the two on a global scale could be termed as ‘major events’ of death & destruction. I’d dare to say that there’s probably at least one mass shooting a year in the United States that eclipses the Salem Witch Trials (which I assume you’re referring to due to the capitalization).

No, just claimed the majority. Then a statistic was supplied to back up that argument using a minority subset.

The majority of the opponents to Nazi Germany were Christian. If Christianity bears the burden of Nazism, then does Christianity get credit for defeating it as well? There were also Muslims, atheists, and agnostics that were Nazis and/or fighting alongside Nazi Germany. Do those get blamed for Nazi crimes?

“Regardless of your views or your religion, more people have died ‘in the name God’ then any other cause in human history. ”

That’s a widely claimed pop-history statistic, but it’s grossly incorrect. The vast majority of deaths in human history have stemmed from disease & famine. But if you only meant to reference…

Are you claiming colonization wouldn’t have happened without Christianity?

The Crusades, in terms of death toll, rank low in the percentage of people killed in conflict.

Many, and I’ve actually read them instead of accepting my high school teacher’s historical generalizations as fact. Let me encourage you to do the same.

“Read a history book,”

I have read plenty of books on history, thank you.

Any bizarre requests they had before they granted approval?

Goddammit. If only my history education didn’t extend beyond community college. :(

The original comment said ALL Christians, ALL of history. And if you want to discuss the history of Western civilization, Christianity hasn’t been responsible for the vast majority of its death & destruction.

Saying ALL of history is a pretty bold claim, particularly since your AP history tutor-provided list mostly focuses on a time-span of a few centuries. I’m glad though that you didn’t include the Taipeng Rebellion, as it’s a little of a stretch to blame Christianity as a whole for a weirdo’s interpretation of a…

“You have been a major force of death and destruction all of history. mmmmmm tasty data. ”

Care to back that up?

That doesn’t say all Christians, only evangelicals.

Don’t invade stop invading Ukraine, Putin.

MY GOD. What happens if they are sucked in & misuse government funds on microtransactions? They could be executed for buying animals for Farmville!

Does that mean some poor Chinese bureaucrat has to play all of those games? I feel very, very sorry for that individual.

I NEED THAT SHIRT.

Only Mao is sacred.
