Christians have never enforced their way at sword point or gunpoint?

Generally not, or almost never, acting that way now, doesn't mean that none of them ever did, but the Spanish Inquisition is a long time ago.

And yes you can find isolated, generally condemned examples, but the writer of the article was not saying "every Christian is completely perfect and would never do anything violent or evil..."

The European hate speech laws are idiotic.

No argument here.

(Interestingly, they also said “no” to a story entitled The Three Little Cowboy Builders because construction workers might take offense. No construction workers had complained about this book either.)
The author's kidding, right? This is so dumb it's hard to believe.


I don't know, this article is my only source for that story.
