But I was under the impressino that most blood shed over God and/or Christianity was to defend the right to worship God/and or Christianity...not to murder those in opposition...unless you're speaking of the Burning Times...and most Christians will tell you...those who claimed to be Christian and burnt innocent people at the stake...weren't Christians...

i believe i shall correct you dawny

this nation was founded by men and women of the christian faith. .. they incountered native people here and everything was nicey nice lovey dovey until we found a bright shiney metal called gold..... then we kicked them off thier land forced them to conform to our religion and if they did not we labeled them heathens and outlaws they fought back and were butchered by better technology and larger numbers now these were the people responsible for the founding of this nation.. how many of those people are you willing to call "not real christians"? news flash dawny but for the most part when you defend a religion u defend the bad as well as the good and for the record every religion has at one time or another warred over whos god was the most powerful and which religion was right

No one found gold in New England or the Midwest, and there's very little here in the South, except maybe in Dahlonega.

There's plenty of arable land, though. That was motivation enough.
