Answer 2

Well, obviously all the Christians are saying that they can't be held accountable for the actions of people in the past who claimed to be Christian, but "weren't really following Christ." I have a couple problems with this line - first, I'm sorry, but even "Jesus" said "By their fruits shall ye know them," and if you look at the entire history of Christianity, it is by all accounts a heaping pile of rotten apples. The Dark Ages, the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Witch-Hunt, etc etc. The standard refrain of the modern Christian when confronted with the facts is "Those people weren't following Christ." Well, they thought they were! They had at least as much conviction as their modern critics, and exactly as much proof (none) that they were correct. Besides, I disagree that you can just completely disregard the history of an organization you voluntarily associate yourself with. If morality means anything, then Christians SHOULD feel ashamed of the fact that their religion was responsible for so much senseless bloodshed and destruction. There's nothing they can do about it, but they ought to feel that moral pang anyway when confronted with the facts. P.S. - I see many people are also trying the "That was the Catholics" tack. Well, like it or not, the obvious truth is that all branches of Christianity really are offshoots of Catholicism. You can say "The Catholics got away from Scripture," but after all, the Catholics are the ones who selected and edited the entire Biblical canon! We have Matthew, Mark, Luke and John because that's what the early Church, the "Catholic" Church, thought worthy of the cut. By the time Luther got his hands on it, the Catholic Church had exercised a complete monopoly over Christianity for centuries; all his revisions were still revisions of Catholic Christianity.
