So some Christians killed some people. Not all Christians killed people.

You are stereotyping and making a sweeping generalization .

Why do you devote your time to cutting and pasting?

The purpose of yahoo answers is to ask questions not to rant your opinion.

That’s why I believe that God took the true church from the earth after the apostles died. All these acts were the acts of men deluded by the devil or truly believing that God wanted them to harm others.
God does at times sanction the death of people (Soddom and Gomorrah, Noah and the Ark) because those people who died would have destroyed the goodness that was on the earth.
God allows man to make his own choices and suffer his own consequences. I believe that the innocent who suffer because of the choices of others are in a state of paradise on the other side.

I might agree with you but, geeeeezzzz, a post is not the same as a book. Can’t you make your point a little more succinctly?

The way i see it, many christians or any religion still do lots of bad stuff bec they are just humans.. its not bec of religion or creed or nationality.. it all boil down to one thing: They are still humans. And doing wrong is easier than doing right; hence jesus said that it is like going through the eye of a needle. I was watching a show one time, and there is this pastor, who came back from the dead and he said, when he got to meet jesus in heaven, it was revealed to him who among his peers who are also pastors are doing really bad things on earth.. sexual pervertion, corruption, etc..

i would not blame it on their religion, i would blame it on their morality, their values, their beliefs, and most of all, blame it on their self control. bec we dont get to see a mighty God everyday doesn’t mean we can do anything unchecked.

so whatever u have listed all there.. yes, they all happened; because it should be done, or done by christians who have forgot good values for a minute…

That certainly is a lot of evil and there’s probably a lot more than the chapter you wrote. The point of contention is that the commandment: That shall not commit murder is what makes all this behavior evil. Take God away and the concept of Good and Evil. disappears. If your going to reprimand God, you can’t use his standard to do it.

Atrocities have been committed by every sect under the sun. Every Religion including atheism (anti-theism) has people that do horrible things.

A true atheist doesn’t believe in good or evil ultimately. Why should he not kill. Laws are arbitrary.

Think religious liberty was thought up by Thomas Jefferson?

[T]he worship of God ought rightly to be our first and chiefest care, and that it was right that Christians and all others should have freedom to follow the kind of religion they favored; so that the God who dwells in heaven might be propitious to us and to all under our rule… We therefore announce that, notwithstanding any provisions concerning the Christians in our former instructions, all who choose that religion are to be permitted to continue therein… and are not to be in any way troubled or molested… Note that at the same time all others are to be allowed the free and unrestricted practice of their religions; for it accords with the good order of the realm and the peacefulness of our times that each should have freedom to worship God after his own choice…

The 313 Edict of Milan passed by co-emperors Constantine and Licinius.

Jesus Christ, God as a man, allowed himself to suffer, and be crucified for the sins of man. He came to show how God would allow himself to suffer and die, in the most horrible way. If others killed others in the name of Christianity, and the others in the world are doing the same thing for their religion, then what is the difference? We are still primitive people and have a long way to go. They are all wrong who kill in the name of God /religion, Jesus was pure in heart unfortunately, all were not. God does have a wrath, and it is best that we follow his rules and word, God will not go easy on the ones that kill for the sake of their religion. God will decide what the outcome will be on that one.

Boy, you sure do **** Christianity to do so much typing. If you have already decided not to be a Christian, why do you feel a need to do this? Why don’t you just go on with life and use your energy on something else like global warming or diseases, or those children in other countries that get kidnapped and forced to be mini-soldiers? If you can put so much time and patience into what you just wrote about, you would do great researching and trying to solve major problems in this world. If you don’t agree with a religion, just skip over it and move on. Life’s too short to try and prove people wrong. Thanks for letting me put my two cents in!

This is sad for so many reasons.

But as it has been said every society and religion has been guilty. The question is when Will it stop. If we continue to point fingers and trade insults we are just as bad as those in the past that committed such crimes.

To me this is as bad as the Christians who write long post about how bad Islam is! No one likes to be associated with such heart wrenching crimes. The Muslims feel the same way when they are associated with Terrorist bombers!

But WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT. IGNORANCE BREEDS IGNORANCE **** BREEDS ****. SO I WONDER IF WE TRIED LOVE WOULD IT BREED LOVE?

And this is a question, or the rants of a demented mind? You completely miss the point. There are religious-political organizations, and there is Christianity. You need to ease up on those drugs so you can see the light.
Hitler used the name of Christ to push his paganist secular humanist ideas. You don’t murder millions in Christ’s name, it is a contradiction of terms.
Let’s just say that you are right about evil Christianity. Are you any better? Someone else would be in there slaughtering millions in the name of some one or something else.
Where would the world be without Christianity? Skipping along in a field of flowers?
Without the ‘restrictive’ influence of Christian rules and morals, this planet would be a smoldering radioactive waste-land with the survivors dancing around what trees are left, and sacrificing virgins.
Wake up and smell the coffee.

When we stand before God, we will only answer for ourselves, not anybody else. The only perfect person was Jesus Christ who died as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. If we repent of our sins and ask him to come into our heart and save us he will come in. If we are sincere, We become a child of the King.
