And you're an expert on the religious faith of Tamil Tigers? No, but wiki is: en.wikipedia.org I see you dropped the N. Ireland civil war as well as the Christian Klan and its activities. How convenient. No, just wasn't going to correct you on those. Yes, everyone in No Ireland is nominally Christian. With Protestant and Catholic being markers of ethnicity - Protestants came in from Scotland and England centuries ago. Yes, and the clash between the Catholics and Prots was violent. Remember the original premise......Christians are good, not violent people according to Ten. And the KKK pretended to be Christians. And the folks they persecuted were Christian as well. Regardless, the KKK wasn't religiously motivated. Pretended? I think they would disagree with you.

None of the conflicts you mention come close to the atheist body count - which numbers somewhere around 100 million. We weren't talking quantitative; we were talking quality. I can't imagine what you're getting at there. Surely, you're not saying the atheist regimes were just killing off people of lower quality. ??? No. Ten was talking about how Christians are less violent than non Christians. There was no mention of numbers. in Nigeria, Christians attacking Muslims; In Nigeria, its mostly the other way round. Its both. More aggression on the Muslim side based on what I hear. How many Nigerians you know? Me - dozens. None. But I read newspaper articles....frequently more accurate than anecdotal and biased accounts. And you're an expert on the religious faith of Tamil Tigers? No, but wiki is. And the KKK pretended to be Christians. And the folks they persecuted were Christian as well. Regardless, the KKK wasn't religiously motivated. Nonetheless, they were God fearing Christians.
