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.

With all due respect Sir, we don't disagree about that. I disagree with some of the author's arguments. Christians have also used their religion in a way that was "callous to human suffering," and there have also been many blindly devoted Christians.
