  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Are these numbers for real?

1) World War I- an estimated casualty list of civilians and military of one and a half million.

2) Stalin and Soviet Russia murdered three and a half million Ukrainian farmers in the early 1930's alone- dumping their bodies into mass graves.

3)An estimated additional fifty-five to seventy-five million people were effectually murdered in the various Soviet concentration camps over a seventy year period.

4)World War II- an estimated civilian and military casualty list of six to seven million.

5) Hitler and Nazi Germany probably murdered betweem four to six million Jews alone throughout Western Europe in the late 1930's and early 1940's - and three to five million gentiles.

6)Early in WWII, the Soviet secret police (NKVD) mass murdered fifteen thousand Polish military officers and ten thousand civilians in the Datyn Forest Massacre.

7)The various persecutions in Red China have accounted for the murder of over two hundred million people- a number admitted by Mao Tse Tung, and labeled "Hsao Mei."- [deprived of existence]

8) The mass murders in communist coups in Africa in the middle part of this century cost an estimated six to seven million lives.

9) As portrayed in the movie "The Killing Fields," the communists in Cambodia murdered over a million people in less than a decade.

10) In the last three decades Moslem persecution of native Christians in Africa has cost a milliion people their lives- through outright murder or starvation.

11) In this decade we have already witnessed the "ethnic cleansing" of several hundred thousand Bosnian Mulims by Bosnian Serbs- Serbs who claim to be Christians.



[Then of course there's the abortion holecaust which probably is into the twenty million range or higher]

I'm very doubtful about many of those figures.

World war 1 left 10 Million dead, mostly soldiers. The UK alone lost 1,000,000

World War 2 is generally thought to have cost 20 million lives in total. The majority civilian.

The figures for Soviet and Chinese concentration camp deaths are hugely exaggerated. Such figures would have caused a major decline in populations - which we do not see. Divide those figures by 20-50 and you may be in the region, I think.

Again, in Bosnia, the total number of DEATHS will be in the region of 3,000 to 5,000.

There is a lot of exaggeration in many figures of this sort, since they are often produced for political purposes. Anti-Catholics like Dave Hunt similarly produce proposterous figures of people supposedly killed by the Inquisition, multiplying the numbers by factors between 100 and 1000 times.

It is very very difficult to kill Millions of people without it becoming clearly evident. Murder on that scale is an industrial task. It also produces "lost" populations, such as the 2 Million Armenians who "vanished" in Turkey in 1917.

Ha! I put these in [ ] to show they were my own opinion and guess. I think what the author was trying to convey was just how serious our times are, the things that are occurring and have occurred in the past 100 years. Number 3 seemed a bit much however I always seem to find big numbers whenever I encounter things about Russia.

Are you serious???

Teresa, I've heard the same figure, 45 million abortions in America. This is an entire generation of people. And this is why, some people say, 9/11 is the evidence that God has removed His protection from America, because we have the blood of 45 million innocent lives on our hands.
