What the fuck has this to do with Scotland ya daft bitch.

[WildwoodClaire1]

@jimbob1969 The video concerns a logical fallacy often referred to as the "No True Scotsman" fallacy. It goes like this: 1) Seamus claims to be a Scotsman; 2) all true Scotsmen drink whiskey; 3) Seamus doesn't drink whisky; 4) therefore, Seamus is no true Scotsman. Billo claimed someone couldn't be "a believer in Jesus" and also be a mass murderer. I regret that your massive ignorance prevented you from understanding the content of this video. You have my sympathy.

You forgot the biggest ones: World War I & II, the Vietnam War, the Irish Protestants vs. Catholics, the Iraq War...

[WildwoodClaire1]

@GuruEvi It might have been a good idea to include somethign from Northern Ireland. However, the wars would have led to endless debate leading in a circle.

You forgot the inquisitions and burnings, you manly focused on wars. You forgot to add the 100 years war which both sides claimed christian superiority. I know there are no recorded deaths in this but the cold war was fueled in large part because of christian groups.

@ravenheart93 How do you know what I "forgot?" Has it occurred to you that I was timing the events to the music in order to limit the length of the video? Yours is one of the more common comments I have recived on this video, and I can only conlcude that many either wanted their favorite atrocity included or wanted a video that was roughly the same length as the documentary "Shoah."

@Quartzzzz Yer ruude!

[PirateMonkeyFilmz]

lol i love how he criticizes them for playing up religion while he does it to muslims all the fucking time

[Gewath]

The only problem is... Breivik really doesn't believe in Jesus.

Quoting from Wikipedia on Anders Behring Brevik: "The manifesto states its author (...) is not "excessively religious" and considers himself a "cultural Christian" (...) calls religion a crutch and a source for drawing mental strength (...) stated that "myself and many more like me do not necessarily have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and God.""

For the record: Bill O'Reilly is still a tool.

No one believing in Jesus commits mass murderer. - Bill O' Reilly. How wrong he was. Love the irony of this video.

@RyuDarragh

...Well, I hope you notice that mine's a satire... sorry again for my poor English.

P.S. I am a Christian... no more <---- no satire here

[RyuDarragh]

@AkasakaS2000: IF Jesus had one millionth of the documentation (0.000001%) that George Washington had, people would believe. God would not even need a trillionth.

And as I have tried to explain to others, just because you are a Christian and others who claim they are also Christians, does not immunize you, or them, from doing very evil things and even doing them in the name of your "Faith". All the history Claire mentioned has real documentation and historical precedant.

[AkasakaS2000]

Don't tell me that inquisition, witch hunting and all those crap are not done by Christians...

We have faith in history books? Well, if u hv faith in a moral pornography, why cant we hv a little faith in a descriptive book?

Besides, do u have "faith" that George Washington once existed?

P.S. As always, fox TV = false TV <----sorry for my Chinese accent!

[RyuDarragh]

You left out "Destruction of European Jews and Ehtnic Minorities", 1938-1947...

[tctheunbeliever]

O'Reilly, O'Reilly....isn't that Irish? I seem to remember something about Catholics and Protestants murdering each other there, too. Of course, I saw that on the news, not in a history book.
