Because thats what Christians always seem to imply, but not actually state, when they're around Jews.

I'm going to have to say Winston Churchill. He had flaws, addmittedly, and was not described as a kind or gentle soul in the least, but he still had the strength of character and will to successfully resist the encroaching Axis forces for two years, until the United States of America was finally forced into the war.

Many don't like Churchill, perhaps his stance on Imperialism, perhaps his moral fiber, but despite these, I still believe him to be a hero of Britan and a great leader in the world.

It was Winston Churchill who said that he supported the use of posinous gas on "uncivilized tribes".

I liked the man until I found that out.

That being said, though, he is a hero of Britain and worthy of some respect.


Kas... it's not you. It's those preaches who say "If you don't believe what I do, you're going to spend eternity in hell."

Not saying everyone is like that, but you have some physcos in your ranks...

Id have to agree with Abraham Lincoln.

I was raised to consider all races equal, and onlyt hold my dislikes for certain people, not races. There is always someone in every race I do not like, even white girls like me. They believe they are better than everyone else. Or at least at my high school they did, because their parents could afford designer clothes and mine couldnt. So what? Big fragging deal.

Anyways, I wasnt raised like that, and I think that Lincoln freeing the slaves was a great thing, as it shows us, no matter the race, what had happened to our ancestors.

Drayson, every sect has psychos in their ranks, and unfortunately they're the most vocal.

Explains why the Pope has so many public speeches . . .

True. But these physcos normally are not high-ranking members of the leadership of said sect, and rarely have the following of thousands of people.

Ren: He gave a speech the other day. I forget why.

But... Kas has told me numerous times that not only will I burn in hell, but Gandhi is currently in hell.

Provided you fail to do certain things.

But then maybe that's because I'm a foul-mouthed, blasphemous communist.

And even when I was Christian, I was a Catholic. And we all know what God does with them.
