What three books would you take?

Youre making it a bigger issue than it is, the bible IS responsible for people to use it as means to kill millions and force them to practice christianity. Now of course that isn't what the bible really is. It doesn't want you to wage war and kill, etc. But that doesn't stop evil men from taking quotes or scriptures out of context and use it to fulfill their agenda. An example is the Americas, namely the Spanish has killed millions of native american people. Its not a generalization, its the truth.

That is why I said it wouldn't be a good idea to give people the means to kill others, fanatics or not. I dont want to hijack this thread for a religious debate, but you want specifics.



Intentionally wanting to start shit? I posted such a thread once and now you are judging me? Grow the fuck up man......

Fair is fair.......I agree the Spanish and many others have used Christianity as a cover for their own greed...in this instance the Spanish wish for an chatttel slavery enforced on the natives in order to get rich. However the way your remark comes off coupled with that thread I linked too made me think you were assessing Bush's beliefs in Christianity with what anarchists would say the death of millions as a result. So I apoligize for coming off so angry...but at the time you gave no qualifying remark to back up that statement as you have done now. So I thought off the remark as general and unsubstantiated being that I did not know your Intent with the remark nor your thought process. As for growing up...well that is the advantage of being 19, I can often hide my guile in ignorance and claim it as guile. :D So no hard feelings.

One of the things I love about Defcon is the large number of very smart people
who are religion-free.

The Bible

The Writings of Socrates by Plato (since socrates wrote nothing down himself.)

Any world history book I could get my hands on.

OK, this thread has gone to hell.
You can take it three ways:
1. Practical
2. Religous
3. Entertainment

Which way should it go?

Skroo: The Great Shark Hunt is the best HST has ever done.
Just don't read vol.2

3. Entertainment

Lets go with that one. :) Seems to be the more reasonable, eh?

We killed the politics and religion forum for a reason.
