Of course. Frankly I'm baffled as to why anyone would be posting 'on-topic' in this thread.

Is me taking ginko biloba (note spelling) going to result in you posting more rationally then?

my posts are quite rational. The real problem is in your ability to follow subject matter.

It's only a problem for you. How much discussion over the way some long-dead shepherds spelt the name of their imaginary friend did you think this thread was going to generate, anyway?

likely not much, but the amount isn't nearly as important as the quality....which thanks to you is sub par at best

Sub-par should be hyphenated.

I would start with the 6 millions Jews killed in WW2 and work backwards

So you are going by total deaths?
Or is it by percentage?
How many native Americans were killed by the settlers?
What other such massacres / genocides have you considered?

native americans were not killed because of their religion, though the total number is quite high, its actual number remains in dispute. For arguments sake lets say it equals the number from WW2, there are still 3500 years of history to contend with. No I think my statement stands as correct unless you can prove otherwise.


Edot: much of the population decline of Native Americans can be attributed to disease.

the watchtower society claims that they ere the one true religion because they are: 1, persecuted for their beliefs and 2, they know the name of the one true God.

I would counter this with the fact that no religion or people has suffered as much persecution as the Jews, and the Jewish scholars know the actual true personal name of God....and it is not Jeho ...[text shortened]... rther proof on this please follow this very safe link:http://www.fossilizedcustoms.com/name.html

I'm working long hours today and tomorrow at work so I'm not ignoring this thread, so I'll try to join in tomorrow evening if that's ok? But just a quick comment about the Jews and it is very true that they have suffered badly and it's shameful how they have. But Jesus was taliking about a group of people that would speak of his Fathers name and would use it in their preaching work. The Jews first did not accept Jesus as their Messiah and have never done a worldwide preaching work that Jesus commanded his followers to do. So I may be wrong but I don't think they are who Jesus was speaking of.... Thanks.

You didn't say they had to be killed because of their religion. In that case, you can cancel your second world war figures, as they too were not killed because of their religion.

Now what about Africans. How many of them have been persecuted over the same period?
