    Reason for The Crusades explained

    The crusaders would have killed @Wrangler (and me) for not affirming their trinitarian creeds, and he calls what they did “doing justice”.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    When people see followers of Jesus, they should see Jesus in them. Consider again the atrocities committed by the Muslims. Do the Muslims look like Jesus? Consider again the atrocities committed by the crusaders. Do the crusaders look like Jesus? Jesus is raping (to focus on one particular...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Raping and murdering your enemy (to name just a few of the evils) isn’t justice; it’s returning evil for evil. (Something which Jesus and the apostles instruct the followers of Jesus not to do.) The point is that it is not justice. You are arguing that it is.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    In practice. “Be still and know that I am God.” I don’t ignore it. How many people have you done this to?

    Christian nationalism. You’ll kill followers of Jesus for it.

    What do indulgences have to do with the Crusades? Plenty, it turns out. https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?recnum=1054

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “The crusades have provided some of the most frequent arguments against the Christian faith. Some Islamic terrorists even claim their terrorist attacks as revenge for what Christians did in the crusades. So, what were the crusades and why are they viewed as such a big problem for the Christian...
