[WhoIsNumberNone]

"Nearly every conservative television personality has slammed President Barack Obama's National Prayer Breakfast speech at this point.

But Fox News host Eric Bolling denied Saturday that Christians, or people of any faith other than Islam for that matter, have killed anyone in the name of their religion.

In what lame parallel universe are abortion doctors christians?

No doctor has ever performed an abortion because of his religious beliefs.

11. Read circa 1500s writings of Spanish invaders

Its all there - the same righteous conviction that the original inhabitants were subhuman heathens and the conquering of them to be done in name of the Christian god. There was economic and greed element, sure, but the wholesale slaughter of native people would not have happened without the religious convictions.
