As believers, we know that the devil is out to kill, steal, and destroy, and give the church of the living god a black eye. In your opinion, what is the most satanic thing ever done in the name of Christ?

the Dark Ages?
Feudalism?
Slavery?
the Spanish inquisition?
the holocaust?
the crusades?
WW3? (going on now with America and select allies attempting to steal all the oil of the middle east from the muslims who live there, on the auspices that muslims are psycho and hellbent to conquer the world, when in actuality they just don't want their oil stolen and their homelands destroyed and their families and comrades maimed and murdered).

I'll tell you - the idea that we are all sinners simply because we exist. Too many christians talk of us all being sinners and unworthy and constantly ask God for forgiveness - this is clearly the work of the devil, don't you think? The enemy, as it were, getting into our churches and our heads, to damage our relationship with God.
With a divinely loving father - Christians are children of the Most High God, right? - there is no room for us being anything other than exactly what and who we should be. God knows only love and we are blessed to be the fond recipients of that love. There is nothing wrong with us - we are all good and loved and our heavenly family is very proud of us!
Peace!

It could be Columbus' genocide of the Arawak Indians. It might also be the Spanish Inquisition. Then again, it might be the Pilgrims' slaughter of the Pequot Indians. These were all done "in the name of Christ." Pick one.

The Crusades and the Christian ideal that they have to convert EVERYONE.
If I believed in Satan, I'm sure He'd love the idea that wars, murder, manipulation and condemnation are all being done "in the name of Jesus" when all of those ideals are supposed to be sins.

Probably any of the mass suicides in God's name. Jim Jones, Marshall Applewhite, David Koresh - these men all spring to mind as telling people that they would be saved by following them and killing themselves.

Hmmm...you blame the devil for the inquisition and all the other factual events listed here?
You mention anything objectively wrong about christianity to a christian and they blame it on the devil...
Talk about the perfect scapegoat.

Christians protesting outside the funeral of a murdered gay man. I am a Christian and I don't agree with the homosexual life style. But that is for God to judge, not me or anyone else. I know Jesus would not be protesting at someone's funeral no matter if he/she was homo/heterosexual.

Yes, liberating a nation of victims from a murderous dictator was probably a bad step, president Bush.
But, honestly... probably the Inquisitions.

The torture and eventual killing of Jacque de Molay, the Master of the Knights Templar whose image exists today imprinted on the Shroud of Turin.
