I think your perspective can determine if the situation is right or wrong. If you have the perspective of a viking, you will think that this situation is correct. Vikings raided churches and monasteries because they knew that religious people would not know how to fight. Therefore, it would be and easy win for the vikings and they could steel all the loot without being harmed. If you have the perspective of a religious teacher/ person you will feel that the Vikings are committing a terrible crime and that they won't go to heaven.

I agree with Zachary because if you're not a Christian it isn't bad, it's just like a place to you. If you are Christian then it's more than just a place, it is very important.

As the saying goes "All is fair in love and war." But I think in this case it was not fair or right that the Vikings attacked churches and monasteries. I get why they did it...less chance of getting harmed, the churches had tons of money and they did not believe in Christianity so they did not fear killing holy men. But come on! These vikings are supposed to be fierce warriors. How does killing monks and priests make them tough?

I partially agree with you Mr.Kaciuba but when you come to think the great ideas they inspired they don't seem that bad.

I agree with you, but they did not just only attack churches. They conquered England, and found USA.

I think it depends on your perspective. Obviously if you are a Christian you will think they are bad but if you really sit down and think about their impact on the world they really did some good. Like they brought about castles and developed Feudalism.

I agree with you, Nico. I like how you said that it depends on your perspective. If you were a Christian, you would think that the vikings were bad. On the other hand, the Vikings did develop castles.

I agree with you Nico because it does I think it does depend on your perspective. Some people thought it was good but others thought it was terrible. The Vikings did do some good advancements like castles and feudalism.

I agree with you Nico. On one hand, {the Christians} it was horrible. But, on the other hand {the Vikings} it was perfectly fine. In the end though, if it wasn't for the attacks, we probably wouldn't have castles or Feudalism.

I think it was good and bad because for the Christians the church was a very important thing that held most of the riches. I think it was good for the vikings because they thought churches were dumb. I also think this because the viking gods enciured fighting and sea travel.

I agree with you because Christians wanted and needed the churches, but Vikings didn't care for them.

I am not going to be one of those people who are like " They are attacking something that belongs to my religion". To be honest with you THE VIKINGS DON'T CARE, I think it was the right thing to do. The Vikings don't believe in Christianity, and they want to get rich the easy way. Personally if I was in the dark ages and I was a Viking and did not believe in Christianity, I would do it. It is called the Dark Ages for a reason.

I agree with you Gavin. They were using the easiest way to get money and they did not care about what they were going to say beacause they were not cristans.

I think that it was wrong to attack and kill most of the people in the monasteries and churches. They thought that these places were the easiest places to attack because they were not protected, they thought this was right. I think that that was wrong because most likely the people in the monasteries and churches didn't do anything to you. The Vikings didn't care about others an what impact they were making, they just kept killing and attacking.

I agree because they were not protected at all. They didn't care what or who they killed and destroyed, they just wanted the treasure and reward from it.

I agree that the people who went to church didn't deserve what they got. They didn't hurt the vikings, but the vikings hurt them. They couldn't get revenge or even defend themselves either.

In the perspective of the vikings, I think it was fair. They could get loot without having to fight an actual warrior - they fought inexperienced religious people. But, in the perspective of the religious men and women, it wasn't fair whatsoever. Their very well respected religious buildings were being torn down because a group of barbaric men who just want loot.

I think that that is was right for the vikings. I mean they didn't care on what you believed. They only cared on what they believed so they liked destroying churches and monasteries.

For the vikings, it was right for they were not Christian. It really depends on your perspective. For Christians it was obviously wrong. I personally think that it was wrong because the vikings just looked for easy, inexperienced targets and didn't have to use any real skill. They easily could loot and attack churches and monasteries and win every time without any real fight.

@Gavin Monaco. I do agree with you on saying that they weren't Christian and they wanted money the easy way. But on the other hand, I think it was pretty unfair because they used no skill and attacked inexperienced targets to win every time.

I think it would be good and bad because for the christians they loved the churches and practically needed it because they were always practicing their religion. It would be good for Viking because they thought it was dumb and they didn't like churches anyways.

In the Vikings eyes it was fair. They were not Catholic so if did not matter to them. In my mind and most people minds it is wrong because of the cristans belief.

I think it was wrong for the Vikings to attack the churches and monasteries because that is completely disrespecting someone elses beliefs and their religions. I actually think it is wrong for them to attack any building or home.

I think that it was wrong because the churches were very peaceful and holy places. They had no way to defend themselves and that is what made them an easy target. The vikings were guaranteed to win and take all that the churches had because they were helpless. In a way it was not fair at all. It became like taking candy from baby.

I think it was wrong for the vikings to attack the churches and monasteries. They were holy places and very important for people. The monks and people that went to church weren't hurting anyone, especially the vikings. The couldn't fight back because they couldn't defend themselves against the vikings.

I think it depends on who's perspective were talking about. For the Vikings it was fine because they were Christian. On the other hand if you're Christian it was wrong.
