Bloody Christianity

Assuming you have been educated and are not just speaking from ignorance, hate and prejudice please cite your source for this fact that you claim.

Christianity is responsible for a lot of deaths, Manifest Destiny..remember that one? Our own American Indians who we have almost driven to extinction would disagree...
And probably all the victims of the Crusades..
Salem witch Trials?

Sheesh! Are you people blood thirsty or what?

The level of understanding, empathy, tolerance are reaching new lows in our society.
Hate is rampant. It scares me more than any foreign threat. This is what was happening in Germany just before they started rounding up the jews blacks and the race mixers.

Even if you win your arguement, you lose the person. Labeling people marginalizes them and you may never reach them again.

Everyone deserves respect and the presumption of innocence.
People and societies are complex, none are all good or all bad.

You claim to be Christian while advocating hate.

I, as a athiest now, know that the the
ideology of Jesus was Love, Forgiveness and Tolerance.
Destroy your enemies by making friends of them.
Render them harmless with Love.

Remember what your mothers taught you?

Don' t call people names.

It's not okay to hit people weaker or smaller than you are.

Don' t be a bully.

Just because he hit you first, doesn't mean it's okay to hit him back.

Don't lie,

Don't take things that don't belong to you.

Respect other people. Just because they are different than you doesn't make them bad.

Your parents love all their children equally.
