[quote=pri_dk][quote=Djshakes]I don’t care about your comparisons of the past. Last I checked we lived in the present.[/quote]
So we should completely ignore history in a political discussion, and rely upon extremely broad generalizations about something as complex as religion.
Got it.
(And we’ll keep this in mind next time you bring up any historical event in one of your arguments…you don’t do that, do you?)[/quote]
Sure, history is important. Who would deny that. But why argue history when it doesn’t depict the current status quo? You are still skirting the question I asked twice. You can argue all day that Christians killed people in the Crusades. However, Christians aren’t killing millions in the name of religion today (if they were we would never hear the end of it). So why bring up the past as if it negates the present.
