old testament?

"And – our preachers quote still the Old Testament (when deemed appropriate). Especially my own Roman Catholic Church where the Pope still decrees no condoms to aids infested African countries. "

since when the old testament talks about condoms, aids and africa. I knew that bible had some prophecies but this is a little much.

Since when advising about abstinence is a terrible act?

"Once again – I mean no offense and have never stated to be the owner of the ultimate truth. But looking back in history, has the Western Culture really never committed insane atrocities? Cortez, Inquisition, Crusades, the many wars in Europe in the name of either form of Christianity?"

according to this statement if I kill someone and say to the police "it was michel C. zala telling me to do it" do you think you will be called as the mastermind behind it? Of course that would be fool, once established that there is no relationship between you and me and I am lying.

Exactly like the acts of cortez, inquisition, crusades in the name of the bible. By the way, the crusades were sent to take back jerusalem from the brutalization of the moslems, or your moral relativism grants land grabbing (land taken back) only when it's muslims doing it?

The more I keep on reading you, the more i realize you are already dhimmified. You grant muslims super-rights-

"It is us, the civilized western world which has produced Monsters like Hitler with neo- Nazis and white supremacists still around. The body count of these guys alone tops all ISLAMIC atrocities in history combined."

that's because in your moral relativism world the life of christians count ZERO, that's why your absurd math counts don't see the muslims atrocities against non-muslims.

BTW, Hitler was quoted in saying, you cannot be christian and german. Although having had a christian upbriging there was no connection between nazism and christianity, not to mention Stalin that believed religion was the opium of the masses.

But still in your relativism game they are bible thumpers.

"wouldn't you think that with the already enormous numbers of Muslims within our western countries we should have seen a much larger level of terrorism and destability already, if they all were so militant?"

it's already evident to everybody except yourself that the muslims already in our lands are merely waiting to subdue us demographically. See Lebanon for reference. Once a christian majority, now a minority, harassed, forced to leave, impoverished, their leaders killed. See Kosovo, see provinces in india with a reached muslim majority, see pattani province in thailand, see mindanao in the philippines.

But nothing to see here for you , move along, the bible fanatics are just as bad and are overthrowing the government all round the world, imposing catholic law (?) on everybody.
