Yeah, I think so but since when did this go back to the crusades? I thought we were about to have a holy war between non-denominational christians and whatever version of christianity you follow.

lol, we were getting kind of close, but lutherans would win, of course j/k

They're alright but all christian faiths are tainted thanx to the Catholic church.

tainted? how are lutherans tainted by catholics? we broke off in the 1500's

Posted: **Wed Jul 19, 2006 10:07 pm**

Because catholics tainted everything to begin with. They changed the old testament to fit what they felt. This isn't the disciples who were supposed to be influenced by god. it's the kings, popes, and even lower church officials

No I have friends who are jewish who can translate the original text for me, so I can examine it with the christian version.

actually I'm quite serious.

Posted: **Thu Jul 20, 2006 9:24 pm**

there are many reasons the crusades started. one was the byzantines were gettin a butt woopin. another was people wanted money. they wanted lands. the pope wanted to extend the churches power. also, some just wanted to fight. lastly, some actually thought they were fightin for God

Posted: **Thu Jul 20, 2006 9:26 pm**

And by lastly you mean most importantly?

Posted: **Thu Jul 20, 2006 9:28 pm**

nooooooo, not at all. that was the last i could remember off the toppo my head. and yes, i said toppo

Posted: **Thu Jul 20, 2006 9:30 pm**

Oh yeah that's right the crusades lost their religious purpose as time went on.

well i'm not that gullable, i need to see what you're talking of before i even think of believing you

Posted: **Thu Jul 20, 2006 9:32 pm**

what? don't tell me my response has left you speechless. It wasn't that bad...was it?

Posted: **Thu Jul 20, 2006 9:37 pm**

theres one thing ive always wondered though...about the number of troops who went on the first. by the way some of the persons who wrote of the crusades, i would have to say onehundredthousand went, because with the numbers of people who died in battle, disease, etc, and to reach jerusalem with with anout 20000 people, it only seems that that would by a logical number. does that seem right?

Posted: **Thu Jul 20, 2006 9:39 pm**

I don't know. give me a minute.

Posted: **Thu Jul 20, 2006 9:40 pm**

No I think there were more.

Posted: **Thu Jul 20, 2006 9:40 pm**
