I wish someone would meekly ask WHY they think Christianity is so evil. I'd like to hear their answers.

"I wish someone would meekly ask WHY they think Christianity is so evil."

1. Because their study has been limited to Western history and has focused on religious wars, slavery, Inquisitions, etc. They seem unaware that these kinds of evils existed in other parts of the world and so believe they are uniquely characteristic of Christianity.

2. The even greater and more recent evils of socialism and communism are overlooked or excused.

3. Christianity demands some discipline of our sexual impulses.

4. They are incapable of understanding nuances, circumstances, etc,. and see everything in black-and-white terms.

5. They are almost completely incapable of self-reflection, and project their dark side onto others. We're all bad boys sometimes, but at least conservatives usually know when their being bad boys. Conservative Christians generally - if not always - know they are sinners.
