Thread Name: BS: Christian Persecution
Subject: RE: BS: Christian Persecution
"Troubadore you seem to be saying that the Christians may deserve to be massacred and driven out of their ancestral homes.
Is that right?
And you were kidding about Jews, Arabs and even Romans lived fairly peacefully side by side, right?"

I am saying nothing of the sort, idiot. If the only way you can answer is by misinterpreting and challenging the misinterpretation, you ain't worth the bother of a response.

I said that animosity leads to persecution and animosity stems from past and present actions

That isn't an endorsement, it's an explanation and it applies to all who persecute or are persecuted, which makes Jim's comments about persecution (however minor) germane to the topic which you only wished to restrict after your premise was challenge.

As to Palestine around the time that Jesus would have lived, it was analagous to the latter years of British rule in India, with Herod ruling under Roman guidance and the majority living quite peacefully.

And I don't recall any occasion when Jesus is purported to have advocated burning Jews and Muslims. Do you?

Final point. You don't come across as very smart if you can't spell a name that is in full view as you write.
