[The European Court of Human Rights bans crucifixes in Italian classrooms.]
If the Holy Father were to call a Crusade, I would put my business on hold, kiss goodbye my wife and kids, take up my claymore (a two handed scottish broadsword), and march on Brussels to behead every single Eurocrat. I believe in the direct approach when dealing with evil.

So some Europeans take a religious symbol out of their schools to ensure that their children aren't indoctrinated, and your response is to kill them? Overkill much? Besides, how do you know that if the crucifixes were in the classrooms, they would be teaching your brand of Christianity at all? (Given that, of course, your version is the Only Truth, which practically every denomination believes about themselves.)
Edit: I second Bargainac. I've played far too many RPGs not to know what a claymore is.
Italian classrooms? Are we talking about the dreaded Catholics here? (Not real christians )

And a mighty fearsome spectacle you'd be until you encountered the first gun.
"I believe in the direct approach when dealing with evil."
Sounds more like the utterly stupid, doomed to fail from the beginning, not well thought out at all approach.
Then again, that seems to be just the type of thing god tends to tell people to do.

Yeah. Kinda unsportsmanlike, really.
Matthew 26:52 "Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword."
Sorry, Arch Conservative, but the Son of your Holy Father is against you on this one.

Mohammed Atta said something similar as he flew a jetliner into the World Trade Center, but I'm sure you don't see the connection.
*pat pat* Yes, dear, and be sure to look both ways when you cross the street, and don't take candy from strangers.
*turns back to the other commenters* Ah, I miss the days when I used to LARP.....
Nothing against your claymore, buddy, but I would suggest some additional equipment. Like, for example, at least one weapon that relies upon some form of explosive. And some body armour. and a bit of common sense. In fact, an understanding that this is the 21st century, not the 15th, would probably be a good thing just in general.
"take up my claymore (a two handed scottish broadsword), and march on Brussels to behead every single Eurocrat."
Yeh, sure you would. Full of crap for Jebus!
P.S. that is "...Scottish..."; capitals are your friends when used correctly.
Asides from a standard internet tough guy, the European Court of Human Rights is based in Strasbourg, France.
This is over 200 miles from Brussels, and has nothing to do with the EU, being part of the Council of Europe.
Yes, but quite frankly, your mind is so thoroughly warped by religious and right-wing ideology, that your concept of what things are evil is irrelevant to other humans and just translates to 'I want to be a nasty twat'. You are one hair's breadth away from from being an insane lunatic with obsessive fantasies and with a mewling need to be considered part of the clan, as it were.
I suppose that's what Moonbattery's for, a sort of online club for a motley collection of wannabe evil bastards and assorted drongos.

Same mentality, grew up believing a different fairy tale
And it's about time Italy started denying special privleges to the Vatican. They have to support Vatican City with their taxes and years ago asked to see the books and were refused. I was hoping they'd push it through, the Catholic church is one of the richest organizations in the world they could at least share the money with Italy or pay their own way.
"my claymore (a two handed scottish broadsword)"
Dur, aren't you teh smrt...moron
Yeah, but i'm sure you've no problem with keeping the classrooms secular when other religions impose on it

If the Holy Father were to call a Crusade
I'm sure that will happen any day now....

Talk is cheap.

And be gunned down long before ECHR was within sight. This is reality, not fucking Highlander. Have a Coke and a smile, now shut the fuck up and go back to your delusions of mediocrity.
and march on Brussels to behead every single Eurocrat
Because genocide is the good christian think to do when presented with differing viewpoints. Fuck that pansy ass Jesus guy and his "turn the other cheek" bullshit Biblegod demands blood.
I believe in the direct approach when dealing with evil.
When your idea of a direct approach begins and ends with murder, and your idea of "evil" begins and ends with simple disagreement then you have surrendered any pretense of morality or righteousness.
Well,
a) You're not Highlander. Beheading people ain't as easy as you think.
b) Even if you can lift a claymore and behead someone, those nice lads with the guns will not be particularly impressed by your testosterone-driven machismo as they blow you to smithereens.
If the Holy Father were to call a Crusade, I sincerely hope that someone would fit him for the straitjacket he so richly deserves. As for you, if you insist on arcane weapons, I'll show you my middle finger before I draw the Longbow. That is, if there's anything left of your Crusade when the government's helicopter gunships are through with you. Have a nice day.
It's probably best that "the Holy Father" hasn't bothered talking to anyone in a few thousand years. Oh, and if he IS talking to you, you have a condition called "Schizophrenia". Modern science and medicine discovered it a little while back. You really should have a doctor check it out before you get all excited...
If the Holy Father were to call a Crusade, you would put your business on hold, kiss goodbye your wife and kids, pee in your pants, and crawl under your Mommy's bed. You're a boastful internet tough-guy.
"take up my claymore (a two handed scottish broadsword), and march on Brussels to behead every single Eurocrat."
The Belgian armed forces would like a word with you. They're members of NATO too, so they'd certainly have backup.
Especially from the US Military bases in Belgium.

Also, honorable mention to Evil Left-Wing Feminist
you will have a sword, and they will have guns. Guess who is going to win that one hmmm?
Besides, I somehow doubt that you can use that sword properly, I imagine you'd be hard pressed to lift it, claymores are big swords.
Also Dr Fishcake, Anti-christ, and Moondog receive one Internet apiece.
@Krunk the 12th level Liberal Barbarian.
Meh, that's nothing. I've got an enchanted Daedric shortbow. I trained under the famed Shadowscale Im-leet, so I can snipe this SOB from a coupla-hunnerd yards.
Also, to everyone assuming he's a baptist fundie talking about Holy Father Yaweh; he's clearly a Catholic fundie pissed that Catholics can't have crucifixes, and is talking about Holy Father Palpatine- I mean, Ratzing- damn, I mean Benedict. Hard to keep track, when the man has so many names.
"If the Holy Father were to call a Crusade, I would put my business on hold, kiss goodbye my wife and kids, take up my claymore..." and get shot dead in a hail of bullets before even touching anyone. Whereas technology advances, biblical crusades do not. QED

If the Pope were to call a Crusade, the Catholic Church would simply lose even more members here in Europe than it is already losing in droves.

Neither of those statements are correct - the Vatican City budget is based on contributions from Roman Catholics worldwide and on tourism, and the overall budget is certainly available. I refer you to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Vatican_City .
I was hoping they'd push it through, the Catholic church is one of the richest organizations in the world they could at least share the money with Italy or pay their own way.
The Church is not that rich, relatively speaking. In terms of cash, the Vatican Bank has something around 10-20 billion USD - making it quite small as international banks go. The Holy See has been running a deficient of a few million USD/year for the last decade (maintaining service programs - particularly the Vatican newspaper and radio service - while contributions decreased slightly). The Church does have a lot of real estate and valuable artwork, but proposals to sell of large portions of that have met with opposition on the grounds of historical preservation.
Re. Arch Conservative: Crusades have not been advocated by Rome for several hundred years. Please don't act like a fool.
Speaking as a nominal "Eurosceptic", I fucking hate this bloke. He is the embodient of the false stereotype of the "Little Englander", and people like him make it easy to tar any critics of the European Union with the same brush.
It's nigh on fucking embarrassing.
The best part is that he probably isn't even English . To embody a stereotype, and - even better - a foreign stereotype, at that? Wow. Just fucking wow.
Way to go, you bigoted, Bible-bashing bastard.
take up my claymore (a two handed scottish broadsword), and march on Brussels to behead every single Eurocrat.
Would this wacko really appear with a claymore in Brussels, trying to enter the EU headquarters, I doubt that security would waste bullets for this pathetic loser.
He would simply receive a dose of pepper spray in his face, would be wrestled down in less than a second, and lead away in handcuffs.
@Anon2
I just realised something horrible: what if the guy's Scottish, black and in possession of only one eye?
That probably means that not only does have a Claymore, but he's also got a lot of explosive ordnance at his disposal and that he's not fucking kidding!
I mean, if it's THAT guy, then GOD HELP US ALL! Especially if your name's Jane Doe ...
Confused?
