1212: Children's Crusade loses some 50,000.
[TOTAL: Just in these incidents, it appears the Europeans lost around 650,000.]
TOTAL: When I take all the individual death tolls listed here, weed out the duplicates, fill in the blanks, apply Occam ("Pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate"), etc. I get a very rough total of 1½ M deaths in the Crusades.


And tell me Spider.... what favors did the Christian missionaries do to the "uncivilized" peoples of the world" ... say in the Inca empire ? Or anyother lands they may have conqueored.... How about the American Indian ? How many of them were murdered for the sake of the Cross ?

While I am a Christian .. I know for a fact once man has his say in matters...it usually ends up in a blood fest ... You can pick your side ..... I'll just be in my canoe watching the sunrise

Spider ...I think what you have just said validated my point... People kill other people in the name of religion ?

is that not what I said ?

Man has used ALL religions for the justification of Killing ... Including Christianity ....read about the Crusades, Inquistions ect ect .... It would make these jihadists look like boy scouts.

Believe what ya believe ... but one great guy said it best Love your Neighbor

If you can do that ... it'll all work out in the end

Everyday there's a new sunrise

PKH ohhh with a smile like yours' the world will always have a beacon of hope and happiness ~~ Good luck to you smiley one :)

After writing to him and calling him out ...he told me he had a book published !!! Get a life already!
