Woah, woah, woah....she said innocents. Jews and farmers are anything but innocent.
Originally posted by AllianceDue to the population at the time, the number won't be as large, nor in such a short amount of time. Heck, I bet the American armed forces have killed more. The number has been estimated before though I believe. Really, the Crusades didn't claim into the millions, nor the Inquisition. People tend to blow them up into something farther reaching and more prominent than they were.
Can you say that the numbers of people that the Church has killed have been accurately recorded? And how do you define "innocents?"I'm not for making ignorant statements one way, but I'm not for making them the other way either.

It's a she. Communist Soviet government killed more innocents, Nazi government too. That = corrected. There are more, but that's all I need.
Here is an excerpt from "the Requirement" (Spainards read to Native Americans after "discovering an island"😉:
"I implore you to recognize the Church as a lady and in the name of the Pope take the King as lord of this land and obey his mandates. If you do not do it, I tell you that with the help of God I will enter powerfully against you all. I will make war everywhere and every way that I can. I will subject you to the yoke and obedience to the Church and to his Majesty. I will take your women and children and make them slaves... The deaths and injuries that you will receive from here on will be your own fault and not that of his majesty nor of the gentlemen that accompany me."

In the U.S., the push of Native Americans westward was justified by "divine (something; damn someone help me out, I'm kinda blank right now)." It was just supposed to be because God willed it.
Even today the U.S. hides behind all the stuff with religion.
Include the Crusades, colonization and that should just about surpass the numbers of any other example.
* Now I added examples of just Christianity instead of simply the Church but not sure how we are doing numbers. Are we doing the Church against anything?

Bush is also a moron who believes himself to be the next messiah. "God speaks through me." Wtf does he mean "God speaks through me." Stupid moron.
The problem with Bush is that he is not a moron. If he was a moron, he would not be president, and we would not be talking about him. Some of the most delusional people are very smart.

T-that's your proof that he is not a moron?
He is president. You do not get to be president without being smart. He also has a degree from Harvard. But that is not my point.
People who go around and say that Bush is a moron are just repeating propaganda and need to stop and think about who is using them and why. Both Democrats and Republicans are evil scum bags and need to be removed from power.
But now we are off topic.

I think he plays dumb a lot. But it is certainly not impossible that he is just an idiot.
Yes a dumb person can become president. At the very least, he doesn't give a **** about most Americans.
