The church used to require one to convert to Judaism before Christianity.

That lasted for no more than the first few decades of the Christian movement.

I don't believe that line.

What don't you believe about it?

I just find it unbelievable that historically Christians killed more Jews than Muslims killed Jews.

Judaism, Christianity and Islam have been around for a very long time.

The Koran has statements directly saying that Jews and Christians should be killed.

But the bible is a combination of the Jewish first testament and it's New Testament is written by Jews.

It could very well be true that more Christians have killed Jews than Muslims killed Jews. Of course Christians were killing Christians over Christianity too all throughout history.

The Christian church was corrupt at times, no doubt. And no one but priests could speak Latin that language of the sermons and the bible.

I haven't studied it. The Muslim Empire was isolated, so it could very well be true.
