[Shotimes] OT: Beheading

[Noah South III]

No, the "Crusades" were definitely evil and wrong, but the evil and wrong
ones were everyone.  Both sides used their own Gods as an excuse to kill
others.  Living in harmony wasn't even a concept at that time.  If you were
different than me, I kill you, if you were like me, you're my buddy.  Not a
healthy and productive way to further the species as a whole.
