Wait, that's a good thing how?

Great architecture and even secularists and humanists agree with Christs moral standpoints

The Crusades.

The Crusades were a response to the spread of Islam, not an offensive campaign. Islam was spread by the sword, unlike Christianity.

I know Islam was and is spread by the sword, but I thought Christianity at that period was same,same! I read something the other day that Islam is at the stage now that Christianity was 600 years ago! I've no idea if that is true or false, I'm only going on what I read, can anybody enlighten me?

In all seriousness both followers of Islam and Christianity have been very militant in the past. Christianity has matured a bit but still has some nutters the problem is Islam has more.
And yet BOTH religions revere Christ has a prophet AND dont listen to what he said about loving your fellow Man (agape not amore)

True! but it's not the only entry point!

Did you know that there are more dedications to celtic saints in Devon then Cornwall?
I didn't know that!
and it was after all a Devonian who took Christianity to Ireland and Germany.
I always thought it was Saint Perran who brought it from Ireland to Cornwall

But then I wouldn't know

ops: I'm a Devonian with a Cornish ancestry!

Not inbred enough for us yet - one of my parents was from stafford so the Mercian Wessex connection works for me

There are stories of kidnaps from the north devon coast taking monks to wales and Ireland Boniface Bishop of Crediton went to Germany and was martyred

Oh well.

My father's a Cornishman so we (not so much I anymore) go down once or twice a year to see the clan in Cornwall's 'Forgotten Corner'. It's a lovely county (or nation?

) beset my so many problems.

How's Cornwall's assembly campaign coming by the way? I remember signing the petition or something for an Assembly for Cornwall. I also notice the rise in 'Cornish nationalism' with an ever growing number of St. Piran flags flying and Cornish now appearing at tourist and holiday spots.

I thought a Labour government so intent on dismantling the UK would give Cornwall an Assembly. I guess the only problem is that it's a historic region and they'd rather lump it in the South West Assembly to fit in with EU designs.

I'd be happy for places like Cornwall to have a greater degree of self-autonomy if the residents there wanted it.

If they gave Cornwall an Assembly they would suffer the humiliation of having the Liberal Democrats become the majority party in a National Assembly. This is not desirable to Labour.

Not to mention that Cornwall is too small for an EU region. They would not like it either.
