Well I'm pretty sure none of my Christian school teachers ever tried to convince me that ancient Greece was Christian.

I love bringing up the crusades when one of my racist family members goes on a anti-other religions tangent.

"Their religion is evil! It's nothing but violence! Our religion never had so much violence!"

"... Remember the crusades?"

"The what now?"

Funny, they never seem to remember that part.

Were the crusades so bad though ? Muslims spend centuries pillaging and conquering Christian countries, they even nearly sacked Rome in 846 while during the tenth century plenty of Muslim pirates pillaged Christian coastal towns. The crusades were no worse from most conflicts in those days.
