In other words, the “religious” quickly became the “Church via the State”, which led to “Crusades”. Secular style, brandishing Crosses

It seems so plain to see from the very beginnings of “Christendom” that it was the State’s means of “order” that infiltrated the church

previous post was from chapter I’m now reading in Fields Of Blood: Religion and the History of Violence by Karen Armstrong (@KarenAnchorite)

Karen Armstrong’s accounts of Constantine trying to mediate the theological disputes with state power is fascinating, important history

RT @algore: New @IPCC_CH report: We can solve the climate crisis, but we must act now to avert its worst consequences.

Hitchens’ apparently unaware of Churches that supported Iraq war & Bush may explain how he is “unaware” of Muslim opposition to violence

Hitchens: “Bush’s church AND EVERY OTHER CHURCH THAT I KNOW OF’ was against the war in Iraq” So much for what he “knows of”. Patently false.

Hitchens cites numerous actions depicted in Old Testament as “one of the reasons why so many Jews are secular”. (again, due to literalism)

So, CHedges, no “secular states” with “Godless constitution” have perpretrated mass violence? I think those too have succumbed. Try again.

Most naive & preposterous suggestion: “Get rid of those WRONG Muslims” . Like, by sheer force of will? Or what?

Hitchens asked “Where is the Fatwa against Muslim atrocities?” Ever hear of Google? Like, http://t.co/xuJlPBzcX0 or http://t.co/yh5bGGB7Le

even in citing an instance of Sunni’s blowing up a Mosque , Hitchens fails to address obvious question: How deep does their Islam go really?
