With all due respect (and I mean that) many Christians have given much to help your people. Tears, sweat...and blood. And that continues today.

When your people cannot defend themselves, christians often step in. Please don't paint us all with the same brush. Have a good day.

I appreciate the respectful tone of your comment. No doubt, there have been many instances of good deeds. For all the brutality my father experienced at the hands of the Nazis in concentration camps, there were a few examples of decency. But, like the scope of our long history as a people, I am sad to say the examples of good deeds are vastly outweighed by the bad, the worse and the horrific. Think like a batting average of .010.

Don’t misunderstand me. The good deeds have been awesome, often heroic and are appreciated. But on the whole, I can say without hesitation, but with due irony, Christianity has a very large cross to bear.
