| Quote | | Secular Humanists Despise Each Other and Humanity |
Hi, Clive
You must be a gardener since you spend so much time in glass houses.
On the question of secular humanists despising humanity, it seems to me your God did not have a very high opinion of them either since, according to your Old Testament, he drowned almost all of them at one time.
We also note the mutual respect and toleration for each other demonstrated by Christians and Muslims during the various Crusades.
Nor should we forget how, according to Wikipedia, in the Thirty Years War, Protestants and Catholics co-operated in extensive programs of population control:
| Quote | | For example, Württemberg lost three-quarters of its population during the war. In the territory of Brandenburg, the losses had amounted to half, while in some areas an estimated two-thirds of the population died. The male population of the German states was reduced by almost half. The population of the Czech lands declined by a third due to war, disease, famine and the expulsion of Protestant Czechs. |
and urban redevelopment
| Quote | | The Swedish armies alone may have destroyed up to 2,000 castles, 18,000 villages and 1,500 towns in Germany, one-third of all German towns. |
These fine examples were continued in the New World where, for example, the Puritans of the Massachusetts colony showed their brotherly love for Quakers by hanging them.
The sad thing is that, for all their emphasis of the importance of The Word, Christians, unlike secular humanists, seem unable to confine themselves to just harsh language when settling their differences.
