Good article, I believe I may start visiting this site more often. :)
Honestly, folks, almost all cultures/religions have this sort of stuff, not just the Bible and Christianity. Yes, the Catholic church screwed up with the Crusades, but guess what? So have other groups. If we're going to talk about violence against others, I can think of a Middle-Eastern religion that regularly has their followers blow themselves up to kill people. "Religion of Peace" my ass.
Also, Noah, it was an article about EXECUTION METHODS. How the hell did you think this might be safe for kids to read? Use common sense, please.
And before anyone jumps me, I'm Jewish, most definitely NOT Christian. Yeah, my people made mistakes too in the past. And guess what? It's Human nature, and it's not likely to change soon. So how about everyone quit whining and just enjoy the articles, eh?
