I stumbled upon a question for a while back: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtGOu.2LEaFEfivzwo8PCs8jzKIX;_ylv=3?qid=20070715233134AAnRjJo
He argues that "christians," did horrible things throughout the years. The horrible actions recorded in history and credited to "christians" were done by Catholics. NOT Christians. Christians are people that followed Christ and His teachings. When the Bible first mentions the word Christian, it refers to those following the teachings of Christ. Those who praised and honored CHRIST. Not Mary, not John, Paul or whatever other "saint" the Catholic church decides to name. Catholics disobey the first few commandments when God tells us not to be idolaters. Catholics may implement Christ into their teachings, but they highly emphasize praising Mary and all the other saints declared by the popes, making them NOT christian but mary-tians, john-tians POPE-tians..etc etc etc. Anyways, can someone explain why the world considers this?
