Bible Note: Ancient I insulted you???? What about this statement you made, "Christianity over the course of the last 2000 years is also responsible for the Spanish Inquisition, the Crusades, the Salem Witch Trials, The Papacy, Confessionals, Indulgences, and many other horrible things. Just because they taught it doesn't mean they taught the right thing. Orthodox Christianity has murdered, stolen, molested, raped, falsely accused, tortured, and enslaved." As a Christian that is far more insulting to me than anything I have could have ever said to you. Your basically saying Christianity advocates murder, rape, pillage and mayhem. That is an insult to every Christian, to every church, to every Bible believing person that has, is or will ever live. There have been 75 million Christians slaughtered because they believed in Christ, and hundred millions more enslaved and abused. For you to say what you did is insult to everyone of them. It is also an insult to think the readers of this forum are so ignorant of the truth that they would believe such outlandish nonsense. Frankly it sounds just like a sound byte taken from Atheists Unite. |
