It wasn't so very long ago that the mainstream of both Christianity
and Islam, at least in some of their strongholds, were responsible for
carnage on a vast scale, both at home and abroad.

Aww, Wolfgang, you've been watching that TV series on teh Crusades,
haven't you!

Nope. But it sounds interesting. What show is that?

Wolfgang
who knows at least that he will never be butchered by an atheist acting on
orders from the highest authority.

No, but "It wasn't so very long ago that" an atheist ordered the
killing of millions of innocent people.

There have been several candidates in recent history......I won't try to
guess which one you're alluding to. Nor will I try to guess what the score
is at the moment. One thing is certain, though......if we include the FIRST
atheists in the tally, it's no contest.

Wolfgang
who knows that the principle difference between history and current events
is a simple matter of orthography.
