Replace "evangelists" with "secularists", and the arguement is the same. Your arguement is thus, pointless, and one-sided.
Also, some clergy in Eurpoe may have done those things. Did they all? Did, in fact, most of them?
You forget. Their were two sides to this.
You also forget, darwinist teachings are what Hitler relied upon to drive home the "superior race" piece.
Really? In what secular text does it say "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live"? In what secular text do the jews say in unison "His blood be upon us, and on our children". What secular text insists that to know of Jesus, but not to accept him as savior (as all orthodox jews do, in obedience to the Shema) is the one sure road away from salvation?, said which doctrine was used to justify making jews legally second class citizens, legally confined to ghettos in virtually every christian nation in Europe.

Did Hitler personally slaughter 6 million jews? Or did he simply provide the intellectual and legal framework for doing so?--rather like the church did for the work of the inquisition, and the mass murder of witches, anabaptists, albigenians, templers, cathars, moslems...?
Don't you understand that similar patterns of genocide, of peoples that have philosophical disagreements with the church, that persist for 1000 years aren't a set of random events?
You forget. Their were two sides to this.
Well, gosh darn, feel free to justify, say, the mass drowning the anabaptist children.
If a serial killer was a good father, that would be another "side" to the story, whouldn't it?
You also forget, darwinist teachings are what Hitler relied upon to drive home the "superior race" piece.
Do you only write, and never read? This has been refuted already. Maybe pictures would get you to acknowledge some iota of responsibility for the this massive moral ineptitude by way of amnesia you are promoting:

Also, your arguement is null for another reason. What one's father did is NOT fair for judgement on the child. I liev in the south. Does that make me responsible for lynch mobs?
Are you responsible for promulgating the gospel whose words were used to justify murdering jews, witches, anabaptists,.........for 1400 years?
I thought you people believed there was a difference from one generation to the next.
I thought "you people" might once in a blue moon take some adult responsibility for the bloody cruel history the gospel you promulgate has produced, in the hope that some effective steps might be taken to see that it won't happen again. Apparently, I was mistaken.
