Listen...now I have no quarrel with decent Christian folks like yourself. None at all. But, as I pointed out in another thread, the history of the religion is a sordid tale of power-mad freaks running rough-shod over everyone else. Christianity, as an institution, has, nearly since its inception, been anything but Christian.

Now that's not to say that there aren't many Christians who are decent people. That's not even to say that there aren't even whole sects that are worthy of respect--the Quakers come to mind.

But the halls of power have almost always been dominated by the worst types of people humanity has to offer, using the Bible to justify all manner of unspeakable atrocities time after time. It's no wonder some people have a problem with Christianity in general.

There is a difference between bashing Christianity and bashing Christians, though it might be hard to recognize at first.
