by **strike wolf** on Wed Jul 19, 2006 9:50 pm

note the over.

by **Caleb the Cruel** on Wed Jul 19, 2006 9:53 pm

i'm still betting that orient knows a lot about the crusades

by **strike wolf** on Wed Jul 19, 2006 9:55 pm

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.

by **Caleb the Cruel** on Wed Jul 19, 2006 9:56 pm

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.

by **Caleb the Cruel** on Wed Jul 19, 2006 10:05 pm

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

by **strike wolf** on 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

and you know this how, do you have one of your wonderful 'first hand accounts' ?

by **strike wolf** on Wed Jul 19, 2006 10:11 pm

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

by **Caleb the Cruel** on Wed Jul 19, 2006 10:13 pm

give me an example of one of your original texts and compare it to the modern bible

actually I'm quite serious.

by **Knight of Orient** on 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

by **strike wolf** on Thu Jul 20, 2006 9:26 pm

And by lastly you mean most importantly?

by **Knight of Orient** on 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

by **strike wolf** on Thu Jul 20, 2006 9:30 pm

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