The guy that moved to the U.S. in the 90's
Hows that going to work..?

And Luther had to go into exile as well.

I thought you wanted a Luther analogue? Exile shouldn't be disqualifying.

Moderates are apologists and won't lead a reformation. Luther was a radical so this makes sense.

Although Citdog pointed out once that Luther was also a big anti-Semite....so...

Today...yes. In the past...not so much.

Yeah, I'm certainly not giving Christianity a pass on this either. It's just it seems they evolved to a less violent means of worship than the muslims.

agreed. I think we can all say, the worst of "Christianity" that's prevalent today is Westboro Baptist Church.

My take on Christianity is a little different. It actually started out as a very peaceful religion hiding from Roman persecution. It grew in spite of that persecution. Then the Romans co-opted it and the Christian religion then spent the next 1600 years or so being part or all of the government and the ruling class. So yes, Christians support bad things but after it became a useful tool of those in power.

Islam, on the other hand, did expand by the sword.

So did Christianity. Look at what they did in Africa, Asia and South America.

Yes...that is what OL FU said.
