I hope you like black and white. nossy Send a noteboard - 23/05/2013 09:50:03 PM

You're apparently stuck there. Again, you didn't respond to any specific point.

HUGE difference between never speaking up for something and not quite meeting your standards. And to expect any other group of people to have only been violent when Christians were in the same phase is completely obtuse.
