Let's see, more people have died in wars sparked in the name of Christianity than all other reasons combined.

The Spanish Inquisition, Queen Elizabeth in England who killed off as many Catholics in England as she could, the burning of "witches", the slavery in early America practiced by this vast "true to Christian values and morals" nation we had, and let us not forget how we had to spread Christianity to the heathens.... and if they wouldn't give up their religion we then decided to kill them or enslave them..... Cortez's conquistidors, the Native Americans, the Polynesians, and so on.

And in all those killings and slaveries and conquests, someone was able to pull out a New Testament (since we are now no longer just saying "Bible' and we have to seperate the books) and point to where they were right in their violence and descration of human rights.

So for anyone to sit there and claim Christianity is not as violent nor as manipulated by its leaders, is prejudicial bullshit.

But I do love these people who have no true knowledge of a religion, taking what their political party, the media and others who just make prejudicial claims and treat them as "gospel".

BTW, if one stays true to Christ's teachings, yes it is a very non-violent, very nonjudgemental religion. But it is when you follow the leaders who turn what was said into what they want, and for their own gains that it is violent and used in name only.

Kinda sounds like Islam doesn't it?

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
