Christians don't use labels in order to justify killing others. Odd that you missed that pointChristians use labels as well - to denote differences between denominations and to identify Christian from non-Christian. You don't want to be associated with the Third Reich do you? Oh this game is fun!
That's actually in disputeBut man does have an influence on the climate.

Certainly you aren't implying 100% consensus?

"...while discussions were still going on with the barons about the release of those in the city who were deemed to be Catholics, the servants and other persons of low degree and unarmed attacked the city without waiting for orders from their leaders. To our amazement, crying "to arms, to arms!", within the space of two or three hours they crossed the ditches and the walls and Béziers was taken. Our men spared no one, irrespective of rank, sex or age, and put to the sword almost 20,000 people. After this great slaughter the whole city was despoiled and burnt, as Divine vengeance miraculously..." (SOURCE)
I s there any chance that you noticed my comment was couched in the present tense?Sadly this is not the history of Christianity. There is a strong history in Europe of vicious anti-semitism going back to the Middle Ages.
Indeed the history of the Church itself has people being killed for "heresies" within the faith. No doubt you've heard of the Albigensian Crusade in which the Catholic Church attempted to eliminate an heretical ostensibly Christian sect in France?
As an aside:
Are you familiar with the phrase "Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out"? Well that has its origins in an apocryphal story from that crusade in which a papal legate is alleged to have said: "Caedite eos! Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius" "Kill them [all]! Surely the Lord discerns which [ones] are his"
However in the legate's own letter to the pope he states:
So it's hard to tell if the legate himself would have said that.
How about the labels used to identify non-Christians during the other Crusades in the holy land?
In a matter of fact I don't actually believe Christians are more or less prone to violence than any other religion. I believe it is human nature over which we find differentiators and use them to hurt each other.
I don't believe that religion ever made anyone do anything they didn't want to do nor did it stay a violent hand when the one wielding it really wanted to wield it. And I think that is true of all religions.
Which other kinds are there?
Even in the scientific community. Certainly you aren't implying 100% consensus?
See below; Mach made my statement for me.
Not to the extent that the Sun does; and the Sun is what's behind global warming and/or cooling.
That's what it sounds like to me---but with these agenda-driven "scientific facts" it's usually all 'er nothin', as you know; any admission that there might be scientific evidence to the contrary of the pet theory causes the whole shebang to go kerpow, and we can't have that, now can we?
"Terrorist", the f-word, the n-word (white Christian nationalist groups). Christians are people and people do justify their killings with convenient boogyman labels.Christians don't use labels in order to justify killing others.
Yeah, by denialists.That's actually in dispute
Circa02 - do you know how many things you were in contact with that day? Or in the previous week? How are you so certain that it was the vaccine that was responsible and not what you had for breakfast? Maybe you had a buildup of marmite in your system that caused the reaction? It makes as much sense biologically. How clear are your memories of that day? Or are you relying on your parents memories? Memories are very easily manipulated, and it's quite common to find parents who will swear blind that their child changed dramically after a vaccine, because that's what they remember, but the child's medical notes will contain signs of development disorder that predate it.
A single event in a single person cannot conculsively be determined. What you need to look for is raised incidence compared to control group. And even if there is an increased risk, you have to weigh the risk of the vaccination versus the risk of the disease.

Sure, all women have to do is make absolutely sure their boyfriends and husbands always use condoms, make their husbands get certified HPV-free before trying to conceive with them and make sure their husbands never cheat without using a condom. That's so easy vaccines should be totally unnecessary.And contracting cervical cancer through HPV is preventable, by changing behaviors. The government has no business forcing people to accept a vaccine, especially for a preventable disease
Are you saying she is not a viable candidate and that she is not a part of American Politics?Democrats lose two special elections and you want to talk about the fifth place Republican candidate.

Perry took a bashing, Ron Paul is too old and still too outside the mainstream. There is Mitt Romney, but he may be too moderate - would getting moderate, disgruntled Democratic vote make up for the loss of the right-wing extremists? Could be, if he could get the nomination.Well, who else is there?
But people's preceptions are hardly objective and their memories are hardly infallable.For a lot of us, our mothers tell us what we did when we were little, the thing s we can't remember ourselves.
Huntsman is way too grounded in reality for today's Republican party, I think; it seems to be into scientific illiteracy as a valid worldview.
