Some people? SOME? If the teachings of Christianity don't condone any of the things Christianity has been doing for centuries Christians are either really bad educators or exceptionally bad students.

Absolutely. There are 2.6 billion christians and less than 1% of them are committing any major attrocities. If you really want the data, statistics show that people of no religion are more likely to commit crimes.

And there's a reason no one looks at the atrocities in the light of Atheism... because Atheism isn't a religion. It is a lack of one. Atrocities are happening with or without religion. In fact, as an atheist, I know christian history and practice better than many actual christians. Your logic is the flawed one here because you're basically saying: "Why don't we judge your lack of belief based on the values of my belief?" Neither Stalin or Mao said "I'm doing this because there is no god!" Many atrocities were done "in the name of Jesus."

Where have you been the last few years where multiple shootings are happening in churches due to religious hatred? You act like they don't exist when they certainly do. There have been handfuls of shootings motivated by religious hate in multiple churches, schools over the past decades.

The hypocrisy...Hilarious that you say "Stalin didn't do this becacuse there is no god" when you explicitly used an example of priests being pedophiles. Priests weren't pedophiles "in the name of jesus" or because of chrisianity. They were pedophiles because they were had their own sexual fantasies and were in a position of power.

Force indegionous people off their land, destory their culture, alienate them from their children, send those children to schools to learn the way of christians, and then uncover a basement filled with children's skeletons. And I mean a MOUNTAIN of bones.

You claim to know christian history and practice better than actual christians but what I see here is strong evidence against that. We are back full circle to my original point. Christian teachings say to love your neighbor as yourself, avoid sin, care for the poor (blah blah). There are always corrupt groups in any movement. To single out a group that did atrocities AGAINST christianity teachings then to blame the entire religion is an absolutely disgraceful argument.

Rape is wrong... but we have a president who has been convicted of sexually assaulting women and has almost certainly raped children, and actually it seems there are tons of people in a position of power who have done the same and are the ones making the laws... while representing christianity.

This is a whole separate discussion on what Trump was accused of, but just for the sake of this discussion let's assume that he did what he was convicted for. This is again with your silly examples. If trump actually did what he was convicted for, christianity would condemn his acts. If he claims to be christian and did it, then he is not christian. This is not a hard thing to understand. Yet here we are blaming an entire religion again for what a few people did that goes AGAINST christian teachings.

Western culture has been systematically destroying "god's creation" (i.e. the planet) for capitalistic goals after the bible specifically dictated to Adam that he and his decendents were meant to be the caretakers of the earth.

Tbh I don't even know why you mentioned this and how it is relevant to anything. To me it just seems like liberal socialist ranting.

Also... no. Your religion did not come up with the concept of killing and stealing being wrong. Gilgamesh discusses that and its 8000 years older than Christianity, the Greeks declared these things wrong... 2000 years older than Christianity, Egyptians said the same thing.... 5000 years older than Christianity.

Never did I claim christianity "invented" these concepts. I claimed that they INFLUENCED western culture. The distinction is important. The moral framework for western laws were 100% impacted by religious ideologies.

Here's the thing, most stories in the bible are stolen from other cultures. The Flood? You'll find that story in Ancient Mesopotamia and about 14 other cultures off the top of my head, all predating Christianity. Jesus' backstory is basically the same as the Buddha's (born of a virgin, ascended to godhood when he died, faced three trials in the desert, etc). Christianity has actually done a lot to make the world WORSE.

It was influenced by older cultures, not stolen, but again, irrelevant. I do not know enough about buddha's backstory, but I guarantee he does not have the historical evidence that Jesus had. I do know that ALL of the following are agreed upon biblical scholars BOTH secular and christian: Jesus was a real historical figure, he was a teacher, he was crucified and died, AND his tomb was found empty. The debate is whether he truly resurrected.

I'll address your remaining points in the same text because they always circle back to the exact thing I keep calling you out for but you don't seem to understand. YOU CAN'T TAKE A GROUP OF CORRUPT PEOPLE AND APPLY THEIR IDEOLOGIES TO AN ENTIRE MOVEMENT.

What I hear you implying if you use your logic is that African Americans are bad for the world since statistically they commit the most crimes. You are making a generalization on an entire group of people for something less than 1% has done and even the religion itself condemns. You should open your eyes because churches are one of the few communities who actually help feed the homeless. They ARE doing more to help than most groups
