“Kill all Christians.” “I really hate Christians.” “I long for the death of Christianity.” “Death to Christianity.“ Is hell too good for that person? If the person who uttered those words had lived at the time of the Crusades and had come into contact with the crusaders, they would have...

From World War I - Who are the Hun? Germany and the German people. Christians. We have Christians saying to Christians -> Hell is too good for you. What do you think about that? Can you not see how appalling that is? Can you not hear how appalling that is? Let’s back up to the Crusades...
