for Christianity in my opinion. I don't agree with either Christofacist or Islamofacist, I think they are both degrading to be honest. I saw somewhere above that someone said Christians made Pol Pot, Stalin, etc. look like amatuers.

You cannot make statements like that and be genuine.

Stalin took out (either directly or indirectly) 20 million.
Mao's Great step forward starved 25 million
Pol Pot took out 2 million
Hitler took out 6 million Jews and millions of enemies
Ghenghis Kahn took out 30-40 million folks on his march west and in China including complete systematic genocidal purges in provinces in Iran Iraq and India.
The Roman Empire was largely not Christian until after 300 AD (and on it's decline) and they killed millions in their conquest and empire including the persecution of Christians (and subsequent lion lunches).




The crusades resulted in about 1.5 million deaths:

Casualties
Total deaths during the Crusades (1096-1270) are estimated at about 1.5 million. Many of the deaths are attributed to starvation and disease.
Pilgrim deaths due to disease . . . .50,000
Fall of Antioch (1098) . .100,000 Muslims
Fall of Jerusalem (1099) .70,000 Muslims
Children's Crusade (1212) . . . . . . . .50,000



Are Christians innocent? No WAY! But do they even compare to some of the others listed above? I personally don't see how.
