How many people have suffered and died because of the 'christian' Right?
How many innocent people have the 'christian' Right killed because of their alliances with:

Mobutu Sese Seko

Frederick Chiluba

Efrain Rios Montt

The ARENA Party

The Death Squads

Charles Taylor

How many GLBT people had their lives ended because of the beliefs of Bigots?

How many doctors have been murdered because of the 'christian' Right?

How many children have had their childhoods ended because of the 'christian' Right's opposition to the UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child?

And how much longer are we going to sit around and watch as the Far Right pillages and destroys the world?

2. We know there have been missionaries in Iraq practically
since we invaded. Remember Franklin Graham's group is just one among many.
So....with all these missionaries needing protection, this is what I want to know:
How many soldiers have died protecting these evangelical missionaries?

4. Remember not too long ago when there were a bunch of kids
blown up, and the soldiers had been giving out candy, and they refused
to state what the mission was, why they were there?
Missionaries often target kids by giving them candy and little toys.

7. The murder and torture of thousands in Central America
was funded and supported by the so co called Christian RW. The Iran/Contra treason spells this out. Read a book about that and you will know what the RW and it's Fundie Fascists are capable of.

9. that's an underestimate, though truly horrible
Edited on Sun Aug-07-05 10:13 PM by wli
Yes, I know about the real-life chainsaw massacres and so on in Latin America.

ON EDIT: The Christian's right goes back as long as Christianity. Over the course of 2000 years of nonstop slaughter, a billion is easily feasible.

6. True religious souls do not encourage suffereing, leave such
to man's arrogance that he himself is so favored above all others that another must suffer in his place.

8. How many people have died because of Israeli Jews? of radical
Islamists? Of communist China? etc.etc.etc....

All radical positions result in deaths of innocents, and not just the religious radicals.
