    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “Charles Battle‘s voice, gentle and soft, is little more than a whisper when he recalls his time at war. No visible scars give testimony to his tour in Vietnam, but when he talks about his combat experiences, his eyes glaze with tears. He pauses as another resident of the North Carolina...

    The good man that turned bad out of necessity

    You know Jesus and the apostles didn’t kill their enemies. I’m a follower of Jesus; I can’t kill you. Curiosity about what?

    The good man that turned bad out of necessity

    I’m a primitive Christian. You said a few minutes ago that you hate “Christians.” Why exempt me? 1. Why? 2. That’s never going to happen.
