I was thinking Club Q in Colorado last fall. But yeah, i think orlando had pleged allegience to ISIS. he had a hella body count.
I think that we can say that Religion as a group has probably killed more people than any regime, nationalist movement or country. I do however think that the europeans landing in north america decimation of the heathen indigenous peoples has a pretty much equaled the german exploits of the 30s and 40s in the number. Yep, people are good at killing
The risk to indigines peoples of contracting infectious diseases for which they have no immunity has never stopped missionaries from spreading along their diseases with the 'word of god'.
Was thinking of China releasing a virus, closing the circle, and taking us back to the original intent of this thread, communism.
What everyone needs to know is how the word VICTIM is pushed as a narrative for everything. Almost every single, actually every single one, video or article I read starts out with a preface and then IMMEDIATELY uses the word "victim", as if somehow that will explain it all. There are NO victims anywhere nor were there ever in the entire history of mankind. The word was created to divide people against each other. You like one, you hate the other, yada yada yada. The reality is everyone is responsible for themsleves NO MATTER WHAT. Age has nothing to do with anything. Truth sometimes does hurt and responsibility includes the innocent. No man is the judge of another.

Good heavens CM, far be it for me to distract fellow monkeys from a good session of commie bashing Onanism. Perish the thought.
Simmer down, Hoss. Seven sentences with six exclamation points... A little refresher of history and current events will prove otherwise... Just sayin'...
I noticed that no one made mention of the Spanish slaughters in south America on the behalf of the RC church. Then we could get onto the whole Jewish convert or die days of yore.

I believe this whole line of thinking was introduced to undermine religion. ("Killed more than..", "I don't need a preacher...", "They are pedos....") Another thread reminds me that one of God's most admired children, Mother Theresa, is criticized. It has worked, and we're in a shittier place because of it.
If anything in human existence comes along you can bet that someone or some group will corrupt it to their advantage, resulting in the subjugation of others and the deaths of many.
