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.

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

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.

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

And by lastly you mean most importantly?
