In reply to the discussion: I'm kind of shocked at how anti-Christian I've become. [View all]303squadron
(562 posts)I believe Christianity is one of the great sources of evil in the world. To paraphrase Bertrand Russell, "If Christianity has made folks better people I have not observed it." The more one reads history, the more one is turned off by all religions but Christianity has a lot of evil to be responsible for: The Crusades, European Religious wars, the persecution of the Cathars, The Spanish Inquisition, the French Inquisition, the Portuguese Inquisition, the French Inquisition, the German Inquisition,and not to be outdone, let's ship that shit overseas for the Columbian Inquisition, pogroms against the Jews, the fact that the 1939 census in Germany showing a population of 95% Christian, the Irish "Troubles," the innocent Muslim men women and children in shallow graves in the Balkans at the hands of the Christian armies, the rape and abuse of children by ministers and priets.....
And I'm just getting warmed up.
So yeah, when I point this out to Christians, the usual response has been, "Satan, get thee away from me."
