    infidel blood up to their Christian elbows?
    Hmmmmmmmm.... just a wee bit of eggzajuration there, eh?

    And, when was the last time you saw a Christian Crusader on the warpath? When there IS a "Christian" extremist/murderer/bomber -- the rest of us denounce that loudly and clearly pretty much in unison.

    When was the last time you heard an outcry from the Arab world about these jihadists misrepresenting their "religion of peace*"?

    We Christians are all apparently a bunch of self-righteous, intolerant, ignorant, unreasonable, violent, quasi-jihadists.

    But fortunately we have firstfloor to enlighten us.

I’m not convinced that it’s possible to reason with a very devout person of any faith simply because faith strongly inhibits reason and insight and promotes a feeling of righteousness that, in extreme situations, justifies mass slaughter.

    Riiiiiight. That's because a bunch of nuns just flew a couple planes into buildings killing thousands in the name of their religion. And a group of Baptist preachers are going around lopping the heads off of thousands in the name of their religion. And Presbyterians are sending out their children with bombs vests to blow themselves up and killing as many infidels as they can in the process in the name of their religion. And Lutherans are kidnapping hundreds of girls and forcing them to convert and selling them into slavery - er, "marriage," in the name of their religion.

    No you were correct, FF really does have anger issues. I suspect that he is a deeply unhappy man - probably a dad thing...

    All us extremist Christians* are very grateful, I'm sure, for your generous and humble spirit and your willingness to free us of our oppressive shackles.
