The Canadians??? I've heard people say that we stole it from the
Indians, but never the Canadians.

Yes, we were not fair with the Indians, beaking treaties and so on, but
just because a person is born in the USA, doesn't make him a Christian.
  A person can even go to church and not really be a Christain. Your
lumping a lot of people into "Christain", that you shouldn't be, just
becasue they may hold some Christian values, and don't profess to be
something else, like Muslim, Hindu, or Whatever.

The Crusades were filled with people looking for self gain. They may
have done what they did in the name of the Lord, but it was still for
self gain, from what I have read. I do recall hearing that the first
one was somewhat legit, but it's been a long time since I've studied that.
