I love hearing about barbarities from secular hypocrites like you. Check out the history of the United States government sometime. I suppose camp Harmony was done for religious reasons. Call me when the Christians get that bad.

Nobody ever claimed that barbarities are restricted to Christians. But Christians certainly have been that bad before, and many are still that bad now. The question is do you want to institutionalize that evil by restoring severe penalties for blasphemy?

Any church, religion, or institution made up men will contain those who do evil. This is obvious and a given. Is this what passes for deep insight in your mind?

The Church is the most beneficent institution in human history. Many claiming to be Christians have done evil, but just being a Christian is no guarantee that you're without sin and going straight to Heaven. Many of us don't. Not all the Popes are considered saints.

Funny how you liberal, leftist, socialist, marxists always have to go back several centuries to slam Christianity.

If excommunication and shunning are too severe for you then God help you. Behave yourself and you needn't worry. Only liberals believe in a consequence free world.

But Christians certainly have been that bad before, and many are still that bad now.

The Christians arent stoning anyone and haven't had that power for centuries, if they ever did. Secularists on the other hand DO have that power. If you commit the secular sins of bigotry or initiating prayer in the public schools watch out. Why don't you go after the genuine things that are actually happening rather than scare up the bogeyman of "intolerant Christianity".

...and many are still that bad now.

Examples. Got more than 10? How many is "many"?
