Sure, Christian organizations have also committed vast crimes. I have no
problem admitting that. I'm a Jew, you silly person.

I do think however, and have no problem arguing the proposition that if
you compare the two the Christians come off a lot better. I am sure that
we would have no problem finding advocates of both positions on the list,
politics is a recurring theme in Gene Wolfe's work and in SF generally, we
are all presumably civilized adults here, I don't see any reason why
ideological and political discussion has no place on this list.

Quite the contrary, actually.
