[Constantine XIII]

Yeah, we've already established the fact that I'm not having a good spelling day. :)

Your interpretation of history, though, is a little...unusual.

Even accepting what you said, nowhere did Christ say that "thou shalt oppress the unbeliever." We aren't the Space Marines, after all. Just because some tyrants did so and used Christ as an excuse doesn't invalidate what He said. Is it Buddha's fault that medieval Japanese monks burned down each other's monasteries over trivial doctrinal disputes? The historical injustices of the past are clearly against what the son of God taught us. Feel free to condemn the perpetrators, but don't put it on His doorstep

Moreover, you say that Christians are "deceiving the world." How is that? If you have some exclusive pipeline to the truth, please, fill us in. It wouldn't be the first time FR has broken important news. :D

So, let's get this right...

1. The Church established what Jesus said through the canon.
2. The Church was wrong in oppressing people.
3. The Church being wrong about how it spread it's religion doesn't change what Jesus said.

Do you not see the flawed logic there? There were dozens of "gospels" but only those that toed the Church line were accepted (determined by the Church, mind you). Also, the original text needed to be translated through hundreds of years, but somehow through all this selective editing, the Word of God remained intact?

It takes a lot of faith in humans to accept something like that, and I'm afraid history doesn't lend a whole lot of credibility to the European elite.
