Quote:~2,000 years of Christianity's history, Soren, where Christianity was used to oppress women, non-believers, Jews. You have St.Paul's misogyny, you have the Churches' anti-Semitism, you have the churches advocating and promulgating it's doctrine of "holy war" against the inhabitants of the New World. Soren, Christianity has a long, long, long, history of doing exactly the things you claim it doesn't and it did it often with the contrivance and cooperation of the Church.
Why are you unable to give Christian doctrine which urges anti-Semitism, "holy war" against the inhabitants of the New World etc.?
I am not unable to, Moses, I have merely lacked the time until now.
Christian Doctrine and anti-Semitism? Here are a small selection of web links to explain how steeped Christianity and it's doctrines are in anti-Semitism:

Christian Doctrine that supported "Holy War" against the inhabitants of the New World?
Perhaps the best article on it is these two - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Requirement_of_1513
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Requerimiento
however, these others also look at the issue, albeit in slightly different ways:
http://www.shmoop.com/spanish-colonization/religion.html
http://www.historyofjihad.org/reconquista.html
http://nativeamericannetroots.net/diary/745
All show how Christianity played a significant part in the justification of the Spanish conquest of the New World.
