Oh I don’t know, mayb he’s in a round-about way giving those that use suh a logic a glimpse into their own world?

It’s the first I’ve heard such a thing, but...

BUT I’ve cerainly heard how evil Christianity is and responsible for mass murders and genocide from the Crusades to the American Indian.

Can’t for the life of me find ANYWERE in the New Testament that makes this justifiable though.

The Old Testament is pretty much filled with it, though.

The "Chosen People" slaughtered like crazy, if the Biblical accounts are accurate. I don't think we switched Gods at the end of the Old Testament, did we?

That there have been wars and genocide in the NAME of Christianity is hardly disputable. The Crusades, the eradication of the Aztecs, and even the conflict in Northern Ireland are ample evidence of that.

I'm not blaming Christianity for any of that, but Ben Stein blames Charles Darwin for Nazi Germany, when you can't find anything in Darwin's writings which remotely support the acts or policies of Nazi Germany.

Use your own argument you just posted about Christianity against Ben Stein, because it's valid.
