The Atrocities Of Christianity
I'm posting this thread, provided there are no objections, primarily for discussion of the evils done in the name of Christ. Discussion is also welcome of the good that Christianity has brought in the world.
Here, discussion can occur of people like Hitler and the Nazis, and whether the Holocaust can be attributed to Christianity. Other discussions such as the Inquisition, Crusades or other also can occur. Positive aspects of Christianity, such as Christians' bringing the end of the Roman Gladiatorial Games, becoming the source of culture, art and literature in Europe for hundreds of years, and ending violent practices in other religions through missionary work, or other, are also welcome. The thread is primarily here for discussing the evils, but conversing about the good also is on-topic.
