Christians are what I have repeatedly told you they are - defenders of the way of life the Lord Jesus chose for us -—not the blatant lies and exagerrations you and other secularists insist on repeating like a broken record —— .
You do not have to like strong commited Christians. We can get by fine without your secular libertarian support. We’ve been doing it for 2000 years or so.
I have nothing against strong committed Christians; I was raised Christian. You are having trouble disconnecting your defense of your faith (which is not the issue here) with the straightforward factual statement that I am making which is that people are people, no matter what faith, and that there have been Christians — ones that have even considered themselves to be fully acting in God’s name and upon God’s Word — that have committed atrocities. You are taking that statement as some sort of affront to your faith. It is not. It is simply a response to a statement that you made that stated that there have not been ANY Christians EVER in history that have committed any atrocities or violent deeds, except as Liberators or Defenders of the Way. This is simply false, and I pointed that out. People are people and as such are fallible, no matter how “righteous” in their faith they claim to be, and some are more fallible than others and yes, even have committed unjustifiable atrocities. This statement was not an affront to you personally or your Christian faith, but you seem to want to take it as such. By the way, I am not a secularist. Nor am I strictly Christian although I was raised Lutheran. I have a strong faith, and that faith is much wider now than is more narrowly defined by Christianity yet still encompasses Christianity and does not reject it at all. My posting history here bears that out. Again, you seem to be having trouble disconnecting the true statement that people of all faiths have committed atrocities in the name of their religion throughout history, from the also true statement that Christianity is a worthy faith and a true, good path in which to lead one’s life. The first statement does not invalidate the second.
