[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m against proselytizing. But you have to admit, DCUM’s hateful anti-religion proselytizers are just as bad. [/quote]

What? Proselytization by Christian missionaries has resulted in the death of millions over the course of the past few centuries. That is not an exaggeration. It has also resulted in laws which punish homosexuality by death. It has torn apart communities, separated families, imposed foreign rule and white dominance.

DCUM meanwhile is typing feverishly on a website. Hurting your feelings, I guess?

Yup, just as bad. [/quote]

Atheists in Cambodia and China and elsewhere have killed many more millions. Your point? [/quote]

If you want to compare the death tolls from colonialism vs. communism, colonialism will win. British imposed famines alone might get you there [/quote]

The Cultural Revolution in China (talk about eradicating a local culture) led to at least 30 million deaths, some say as many as 80 million.

The potato famine caused 1 million deaths. I’m not aware of other “colonialist imposed” (as opposed to happened-during) famines, but I’m happy to be shown others. Colonialism led to many more deaths by straight-up war and oppression.

The point, though, is that many here are confusing colonialism with missionaries when they talk about millions of deaths. And none seems as bad as something like the atheist-led Cultural Revolution. [/quote]
