As you're a quieter version of Viking, you're not exactly the person to judge.  :P

Well he's a more pleasant version of Viking.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

If you were to define evil in the simplest and at the same time more accurate way, how would you do it (you do not have to be original - it could be someone else's definition).
Anyways back to the OP's question.
Ill use a quote.

Quote
The malice of a true Christian attempting to destroy an opponent is something unique in the world. No other religion ever considered it necessary to destroy others because they did not share the same beliefs. At worst, another man's belief might inspire amusement or contempt—the Egyptians and their animal gods, for instance. Yet those who worshipped the Bull did not try to murder those who worshipped the Snake, or to convert them by force from Snake to Bull. No evil ever entered the world quite so vividly or on such a vast scale as Christianity did.

Viking was a nice enough fellow. He just had a few issues where he obsessed a bit too much.

No, there's always been an inordinate amount of Dudley Do-Rightism combined with an unhealthy dose of that most ugly of all Canadian traits, and then there's this guy.

I started going back to church again a year ago. :)

Yes, the grace and humility of Pope Francis is quite an inspiration.

I respect my Catholic friends and brothers, but two years of a Jesuit education showed me why I can not be a catholic. -_-
