Have you never heard of the IRA or Basque separatists? These days most terrorists in the US & EU are protestants, but the Catholics have not given up their attempt to wrest first place from these upstart prods...
- nsxwolf 12y agoAhh the IRA example again. Virtually all experts categorize that conflict as an ethno-nationalist one, not a religious one. Can you point to any teachings or statements by the Catholic Church today that condone terrorism and violence?
- zak_mc_kracken 12y agoWell, the Christian god routinely murders entire populations (an entire planet, even) including children, newborns and cattle. Not exactly a stand up example of moral behavior, it's no wonder some of its followers feel entitled to do the same.
- nsxwolf 12y agoThe Catholic Church does not endorse murdering entire populations, including children, newborns and cattle. In fact, it is in no uncertain terms completely opposed to such things. I asked you about the Catholic Church and you tell me about the Bible. You are free to argue that the Catholic Church is hypocritical and misinterpreting the Bible when they condemn murder, but that wasn't the question.
