Why Christianity is still legal after Christians committed holocaust on most religions of the world?

Question

Lets look at the history: As soon as the so-called loving Christians destroyed Rome, they tried to wipe out any sign of traditional religions of the land. Europe was a victim of this hate organization. Where thousands had their heads cut of for not wanting to covert to Christianity. There was a systematic destruction of all the non-Christian religious sites and literature; this went on for over one thousand years. The goal of Christianity was to “Deface all the other religions” Then this holocaust went to new world. Christians wiped out every connection with traditional religions in America, and most of Africa.

Now they try to attack any new religions (eg. Scientology) and they are preventing citizens of the world from learning about their traditional religions that were exterminated by Christianity.

Answer 1

It’s not Christianity’s fault but that of the people. Christianity tells you to be patient and forgive people and above all “Thou shalt not kill”.

Answer 2

People make up any religion and people can make mistakes.

Groups are just an extension of the founders way of thinking and/or Philosopy, Others see and join if they see it that way or agree. People thru groups get things done. A Man by himself is ineffective...

Just as at a Hanging where the lynch mentality prevails and take people off an aberated path. The mob mentality often rules even though it is not the right decisions. After words we can look back and see that the Mob Broke the Law.

We often look at the mob as the law, but it isn't, is it? Same with any Group. Lets focus on the precepts of the group and see if, that makes society a better place. We can deal with the violating members separately after the fact. If the laws of the land was broke they should be dealt with individually. Groups try and fix there groups, but when there are lies involved, they can't.

The point we should look at if it was the actual group or people acting as the group. That did the killing?There can be a big difference usually and we should be able to diffrenciate.Having religious wars never solved any problems in our past. Being blambed for something you didn't do can just cause great upset. Handle the upset, then the truth will be able to be seen... One must be able to break things down, to see the truth. Clumped all together, it won't be seen.

As an example I can see as a Scientologist where some Scientologists action hurt the whole group. But if one looks at the whole groups goals and purposes, Its not a bad group, I mean a Planet with out war and insanity, where the able can prosper and have rights... come on Isn't that what we all want? That is why Scientology as a Group expells the group members that thinks differently and are doing things different from the Group. They (Scientology) want people to see the difference.
Problem is one makes themselves right by making the group (Scientology) wrong and you see why we as a group are attacted. Look at our goals and purposes and see what we are actually achieving, Then you can be able to see what is happening. Look at the objective of the group attacting us and see if it is as survival of a goal as a "Cleared" Planet.
There goal ( Scientology destroyed ) is rather a small goal verses a cleared planet. Then If one knew that all Scientology is doing is making A sane leader one person at a time, then to see no more sane people coming about, one could see we will all suffer in the end.
Hey I don't want to suffer, I see all the craziness around us, I don't see the anti- Scientology groups making anyone sane, Just trying to destroy the one group that is for sure doing something about the insanity out here. There is so much of it it makes us look like were the insane ones. Whow Whow Whow...

Just remember we are all growing (ANY GROUP)and can make mistakes, Don't harp on the mistakes, there is too much work ahead that has to be handled if you want a sane environment in our future... Are they good goals? If they are become productive and HELP... It's your community too...

If a group has a good purpose and how they achieve it, is what that group does, is what matters. as long as they are not hurting the group called man kind. Gosh if everyone was the same, how boring?
The person that doesn't do anything that has no Group, now that is what we should be worried about. That person is simply not growing, or aiding humanities survival...
The person that doesn't grow is the one that is doing the real damage, as he is the one putting the lies in to the established groups, causing termoil and destruction, and because it's a lie can't be resolved thru communication, so has to be resolved thru Bullets... I'd rather Scientology wins and we can handle our problems thru communication. Bullets have never worked so far.

First of all, I'll admit openly that I take issues with many of the premises of your argument. Although Christianity has certainly had its share of violence, for one thing, it is hardly alone in that respect. I've also heard little to support your claim that there is an organized Christian effort to suppress the teachings of other religions. And lastly, I won't deny that I do not in any way consider Scientology a religion - it's either a business or a cult, depending on how you want to look at it.

I feel that your argument is flawed enough to be unaddressable, so instead I'm going to answer your initial question: Why Christianity is still legal? I'm comfortable with doing this because I don't think the part after it even matters. Why is Christianity legal? I'm not sure where you're from, but in America, one of the most basic rights granted by the Constitution is the freedom to (or from) religion. Whatever any religion may have done, although I may feel free to condemn their practices, I will condone it. To ban a religion, any religion, for any reason, is to take a slippery and awful step down the slope of prejudice and repression.

PS: I'm not a Christian.

Answer 4

Are you confusing with the Islam? It is Muslims who within first hundred years of the death of Muhammad spread Islam by destroying the non-Islamic institutions from Alexandria to the borders of Australia covering many countries in the Asia, Europe, Africa these three continents. The Holy War was a reaction to the Jihad by the Muslims.

Secondly, for what Christians have done why should Christianity be punished? So long as Koran remains a legal scripture, The Bible has an equal right to survive. In Koran there are two chapters on Jesus and Mary, which sounds offensive to devout Christians. So what is the remedy? Both the groups will survive till both are eliminated.

Answer 5

A generalization such as the one you make is dangerous. It is akin to asking why all _______ (fill in the appropriate race) do ________ (fill in your choice of stereotypical behavior). Not all ____ do ____, any more than all Christians "attack new religions."

As I recall, it was the Romans who used Christians as lion bait in the Coliseum.

"Thousand had their heads cut of (sic) for not wanting to covert (sic) to Christianity." Hmmm, as I recall al-Zarqawi ordered many beheadings in Iraq. Oh, and who were these "thousands." What countries did they live in? During what time period?

Please provide me with your source material which verifies "There was a systematic destruction of all the non-Christian religious sites and literature; this went on for over one thousand years."

You state "The goal of Christianity was to 'Deface all the other religions'." Will you provide your source for that quote?

"Now they try to attack any new religions . . . . and they are preventing citizens of the world from learning about their traditional religions that were exterminated by Christianity." Who are "they"? What "traditional religions" were "exterminated" by Christianity?

Perhaps you might question why terrorists destroyed the Twin Towers and the Pentagon on September 11th in the name of Allah.

And by the way, the United States was founded on a principal called freedom of religion. Read your history books. Religious beliefs cannot be declared "legal" or "illegal."

Before you throw out questions with so many obviously inflammatory statements, you might want to check your sources.

Answer 6

Christianity and religion are two different things. True Christainity is following the guidelines that Jesus set forth in His WORD. Religion on the other hand is the man-made rules that they placed into existence as their interpretation to those guidelines. Religion is man thinking they have to improve on what Jesus said. Jesus' guidleines need no interpretation or improving on. Jesus did not give forth any guidelines that would support a holocaust. Once again that is man trying to put his two-cents in as to what MAN thinks should be. Man does this by wordly thinking not by Christian thinking. SO don't bash the TRUE Christian instead look to the worldly-man as the culprit.

The New Testament reports that the earliest Christians suffered persecution at the hands of the Jewish leadership of the day, commencing with Jesus himself. According to the New Testament accounts, persecution of Jesus' followers continued after his death. Peter and John were imprisoned by the Jewish leadership, including high priest Ananias. During the famous Bar Kochba Rebellion of AD 135, Christians refused to fight, as a result of which, according to Justin Martyr, they were "commanded to be punished severely, if they did not deny Jesus as the Messiah and blaspheme him."

On October 29, 2005 three school girls were found beheaded near Poso. The girls, students at Central Sulawesi Christian Church, were killed by six unidentified assailants while on their way to class.

In Saudi Arabia, Christians are arrested and lashed in public for practicing their faith. Bibles and other non-Muslim religious books are captured, piled up and burned by the religious police of Saudi
In Egypt, the government does not officially recognise conversions from Islam to Christianity;

Also, in China, and Japan.

SO, before you go pointing fingers, look at what countless other countries and religions did. NOONE is free from blame.
