We know that millions of people were murdered during the Crusades and the Inquisitions and now all kinds of children are being molested in churches. I know people wear different color ribbons for other causes. Is there anything I can wear to honor/remember all the people that have been murdered/molested by Christians? Thanks for your help!!

I thought it was a sin to curse people and call them a jackass? I guess you don't follow your own rules.. as usual.

Please don't blame the Christians of today, for what happened back then. But you are right, and I understand how you feel. Some very corrupt men were running the church during those times, But since then, the church has been reformed by some very great men. Do you think all the Christians back then, were in agreement as to what was happening? Let me assure you, no! Many, who was not in agreement were put to death also, and branded heretics.. The church was, and run under the Roman Government at that time. You cannot hold the Christians of today responsible for those acts. And as far as the molestations, you cannot blame the whole church for what some men have done. You will find, out of all religions, evil men. To blame all the Christians today,for these hideous acts, is not being very mature. That's like if your father went out and murdered someone, the whole world would blame you. How would you feel? I honor and remember all those murdered too, but I blame those who did this, not the whole church.

They Wiccans have banners that say "never again' in flames to remind people what happened during what is called the Burning Times. No, despite what people think or say, it wasn't just the Catholics, Protestants were the ones in America that held the witch trials here. And no, more Christians HAVEN'T been murdered than they murdered in the past, stretching all the way to today.

You have a good point except for one thing. You're suggesting something to mourning for people murdered by Christians. Why just Christians.
Would it make a molested person happier to know that the molester wasn't Christian ?
If someone is murdered by a Jew or a Muslim should anyone mourn for him, or only if the murderer was Christian ?
No, I'm not Christian.

You know that God wants us to "Love others the way we love ourselves" and that they "will know you by your love one for another."
If you really are interested, there have been a multitude more Christians killed spreading the good news of Christ than people killed by so called Christians or the crusades.
Also children in the church being molested.... I take it you are talking about the Roman Catholic Church. You might be surprised to learn that the number of molestations in the Roman Catholic Church are no different from that of our society. The only difference is that priests molesting children is big news and reported more often.
So proudly wear a cross because Jesus died for all our sins!
May God Bless You!

God sent his son to die in our place ,He did this very well, Christ suffered for all ,that all who receive him would have eternal life .Just because you say your a duck doesn't make you one ,the bible says you will know them by their fruits ,just because someone did something in the name or under the pretense of being a Christan doesn't mean they are in their heart,
god's word condemns murder so it wasn't His ideal to murder anyone,Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abuntly, so if your going to wear a sign wear a smile because Jesus Died for you to... papa

Dosen't really matter who the DEVIL can get to do his DIRTY-WORK, Children of GOD or Children of the World. The Devil accomplished alot of Dirty-Work through Hitler, and yes, he's doing alot through Children of GOD cause there not GROWING-UP fast enough(it's harder to be decieved if you learn things and grow). The DEVIL is the ENEMY of ALL HUMAN BEINGS. And RIGHT NOW, GOD is having MERCY on EVERYBODY, but it will be over-with shortly and then HIS JUDGEMENT will become EFFECTIVE. I would tell everybody RIGHT NOW to "get on the BOAT"(accept JESUS as your SAVIOR---get SAVED) cause the floods acomning and it ain't agonna be water either. JESUS is LORD and soon the WORLD will see HIM as LORD OF LORD'S and KING OF KING'S(don't worry bout' the WORLD, just make sure you don't get flooded) and Have a Nice Day!!!!!

a cross.
it symbolizes the manner of death of Christ, both in the original Jesus at Calvary as well as in the people committing the evil things you mention. Obviously they must be false christians to murder or molest anyone.
