Mosque at Ground Zero

Thanks very much for all that, Logan. It clarifies things quite a bit.

Well... I'd say it makes a partial attempt at answering Bob's comment.

Of the seven things Bob mentioned off the top of his head that were problems with Christianity, Logan throughly addressed the first (Crusades) and made a passing attempt at the sixth (religious/sectarian violence), and left the other five things (Inquisition, antisemitism, conversion by the sword, justification for the American slave trade, and Catholic sex abuse) unaddressed. Considering that the last two items on the list (religious/sectarian violence and Catholic sex abuse) are still going on in modern days, giving short shrift to one and ignoring the other doesn't help Logan's position.
