Sure it is! Its an easy religion for a sinner to follow! You can hate anyone
thats not of your thinking!

Once again, written by the same person in the same post. Do you suppose
he doesn't get the irony of these two statements together? Darned good

Google "saint bartholomew's day massacre". Here's one hit from the

"...Massacres continued into October reaching the provinces of
Rouen, Lyons, Bourges, Orleans, and Bourdeaux. An estimated

In England Catholics were hunted down and killed. Catholics were
considered terrorists, circa 1600. This is the origin of the
Gunpowder Plot and Guy Fawkes Day in English history.

The Pilgroms and other protestant sects didn't come to the New World
for a vacation. They did because they were being persecuted in Europe.

"Persecuted" is a polite word for "killed"
