Those attacking Christianity sometimes point to the many religious wars and atrocities perpetrated in the name of Christ and the Church. They forget that not everyone self-labelled 'Christian' truly follows Christ. Also, that many times more people have been killed this century, most by their own governments, than in all religious conflicts, ever.1 And this slaughter happened because of philosophies openly hostile to biblical Christianity, and flowing directly from evolutionary belief. About 130 million (not including the hundreds of millions killed by abortion) were slaughtered this century in the name of atheism, whereas all those killed in 'the name of Christ' in all of recorded history was at most around 17 million. See James Kennedy and Jerry Newcombe, What if Jesus had never been born? Thomas Nelson, Nashville, 1994. The blood-stained 'century of evolution'

The rule actually is that when we remove God from the equation, when we act and live as if we have no one to answer to but ourselves, and if there is no God, then the rule of law is social Darwinism-- the strong rule the weak. We'll find that, quite to the contrary, it is not Christianity and the belief in the God of the Bible that results in carnage and genocide. But it's when people reject the God of the Bible that we are most vulnerable to those kinds of things that we see in history that are the radical and gross destruction of human lives.

Give me a break, Using your logic we can say Saddam was better than Christianity because he only killed 1 Million people.

Stalin Rejected Evolution and Hitler in Mein Kampf mentioned the creator over and over again while never mentioning the science of Evolution. So your Liberal like lies, History revisionism and character assassination doesn’t hold water and are best saved for the Evolution/Creationism threads in the Smoky Backroom.

But back to my original assertion

I wasn’t talking about people “USING” Christianity “For” evil, I was talking of people “OF” Christianity “That are” evil.

Like Moses.

Forget Religion for a second and forget which side has the “higher body count”, Murders are murders, I talking specifically about Moses. If we assume the biblical history is correct and Moses was actually a “Real” person who existed and he actually committed all the atrocities it says he did then why should we display anything this monster produced?

I hate to tell you but when I was 12 years old I actually read the bible and as they say “No book created more Atheist than the Bible” and I am sorry to disappoint you but I never robbed, raped or murdered anybody and over all I lived a good and moral life and despite your proclamations on how people need YOUR GOD and YOUR GOD ONLY to be good and moral most atheist are in fact good, moral people.

And conveniently ignore the fact that we would have virtually no charities, hospitals and institutions of higher learning without Christians because Christians are the ones who founded those institutions and continue to fund them in large part.

How many atheist or agnostic charities, hospitals or universities can you name? Case closed.
