Back to the Zombie rants, Catholics and Islam, CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG! 800 New Saint, Saudi Arabia lashes for two men for converting a woman to Christianity

ROME -- Pope Francis canonized more than 800 Catholics in Saint Peter’s Square Sunday – the largest number to be elevated to sainthood at once in the history of the Catholic Church. The choice of some of the new saints was also striking, touching on the already-fragile relationship between Christianity and Islam. The new saints included hundreds of laymen from the southern Italian port town of Otranto who were slain in the 15th century by the invading Ottoman Turkish army after they refused to convert to Islam. In 1480, after conquering Constantinople – modern day Istanbul - the Ottoman Sultan Mohammed II planned to invade Rome, and Otranto became his army’s port of entrance into Italy. The local population fought back in a week-long siege, putting up a brave but hopeless resistance. When Ottoman soldiers finally overrun the town, they were ordered to kill every man over the age of 15 who refused to convert to Islam. More than 800 resisted, locking themselves up into the town’s Cathedral. Their ringleader, local shoemaker Antonio Primaldo, was first to be beheaded. According to local legend, his headless body remained standing until the last of his fellow townspeople was kill. Yea right!////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// A court is Saudi Arabia has sentenced two men to lashes and prison terms for converting a woman to Christianity. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////All religions are nonsense IMO. Islam is insane, period, no question about it. I'm going go start a new religion, [yea! that will fix everything]. The first rule of the religion is, please just leave me alone, I don't want to hear your nonsense, about what you believe, about the unknowable. The second and last rule is the golden rule,"One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself." That's it people the new religion that will save us all. I already have an angel watching over me. Can we all say AMEN!!!
