Who does Christianity threaten today?

How many people were killed last year in the name of Jesus?

Can you contrast that with Islam, where dozens are regularly killed by their Muslim brothers after an alleged slight?

We can rehash past wrongs by everyone, for exploitation, genocide, slavery, conversions, the Inquisition, etc.

I don't really care about that, unless it threatens my family, or my country. You believe whatever you want, worship whoever or whatever you desire. Your right to follow your religious creed (or none) ends where mine start. You make me and my fellow Americans the objects of your hatred and violence, then you can face the consequences.

As a soldier, I think I can see where the real threat lies.
