The battle in Ireland has nothing to do with Christianity. It has far more to do with socialism. But it is often used to slime Christianity by those who know nothing about it.

Nazi's wore belt buckles that said God is with us, and sang Christmas carols outside the gas chambers while the Jews died. Was it because they believed in Christ? No, actually they were occultists. But they knew the value of causing shame to Christ's name for their master.

Jim Jones claimed to be a Christen too. He taught a very non-Christian viewpoint that would stand out like a sore thumb in any church that actually was Christian, but the non-Christians that followed him did not know that because they had no idea what Christianity was about, so they could not spot a counterfeit if it bit them. It did bite them by the way.

This is the very problem you have stumbled into. I might suggest, before you get all offended at Christianity, you might find out what it is first. You might find out that you have been deceived like the Jews of that day into hating the very thing you should love by wolves in sheep shirts.

(Funny how it seems to have followed the lines of it, then.)

(Bull. Most Nazi soldiers were Christian. There were a FEW of the high ranking ones who were into the occult, but that was hardly a widespread thing. When war came around, they did the same thing Christians everywhere do when a war comes around: they followed orders and begged God to be forgiven for any sins they might commit while doing it.)

Jim Jones claimed to be a Christen too.

(That's right, but he was no Christian I'd recognize.)

This is the very problem you have stumbled into. I might suggest, before you get all offended at Christianity, you might find out what it is first.

(I'd suggest that you ask questions before you assume. I was raised Christian. I respect Christianity. What I do NOT respect is people who claim to be Christian but do not act like it. Like some of the folks in Ireland, for example)
