          Well for starts the crusades were about more than just religion, and it’s pretty obvious that they weren’t the end of Christian religious violence and that nobody “learned their lesson” from them.

            were about more than just religion

            of course but they also were about religion

            they weren’t the end of Christian religious violence

            I’d say they were the epitome of christian violence (against non-christians) and from then on it decreased overall

            nobody “learned their lesson” from them

            after enough of the desasters that were the crusades they stopped doing them altogether

              are you kidding me? do you have any idea what they did in the name of the lord to the indigenous people of the new world throughout the 14th century onwards??
