When in fact they have more blood on their hands than Osama Bin ladin and Al-Qaeeda?
They are no different than any terrorist organization just that they have legalized their actions with the UN. Moreover, Hitler(who was a Christian) and the Bombing of Hiroshima is a good example of terrorism not to mention the enslavement of Blacks all around the world when it was popular to rape and cut off the feet of runaways.

Simply because these terrorists call themselves Christians does not mean that they are. You have generalized all Christians to a great degree here. You cannot hold all Christians responsible for the actions of others when the truth is that true Christians would not condone these things at all, and you most certainly cannot compare those who have an honest relationship with God today to those who claimed to be Christians and committed acts of terror or hostility in the past. You cannot hand select the above people and use them as a representation for Christianity when their actions go against what Christianity actually stands for.

Why did you ask this question when you have clearly formuated an opinion without first hearing any responses? Was it because you were looking for a reason to pick on large groups of imperfect humans who made large mistakes?
John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God...
Matthew 7:3: "Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
Murder is murder is murder... I don't care who did it or what religion they are it is wrong. I am a Christian, & I don't judge Individuals based on what relgion or race or sex or sexual preferance. We are all Gods creatures. He commands us to...

Just because some choose not to believe, doesn't mean He isn't real. I would rather believe & be wrong...Than to not believe and be wrong. Ask your self on which end to I lose more?
Change start within each of us. You can chose to wake up each morning and keep complaining about what is wrong or you can do something even something small, to make it better. I was always taught you are either part of the solution or part of the problem there is NO gray area!
Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Psalms 44:20-22
20 If we had forgotten the name of our God
or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
21 would not God discover this?
For he knows the secrets of the heart.
22 Yet for your sake we are killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.

Your generalizing big time my friend. Hitler was a vegetarian, so do the vegetarians in the world now have blood on their hands? Why do they legalize their slaughter with the U.N.? See how silly that can get? It goes much deeper than that and your trivializing some major events like Hiroshima, which helped end a World War that the Japanese started by flying planes into Ships in a surprise attack, much like flying planes into the World Trade Center. The enslavement of Blacks all around the world? Is that strictly a Christian thing? I don't think so my friend, and your trivializing it to try to make a point, shame on you.

Okay, have a lie-down on the couch and let Dr. Julia, the resident psychiatrist, offer her analysis:
You're not really troubled by Hitler (who had abandoned his Christianity long before his rise to power).
You're not really troubled by Hiroshima, which was carried out by the US military -- which, the last time I checked, is not a Christian organization.
You're not troubled by the enslavement of blacks either.
These things are, for you, just excuses.
They're excuses for you to attack, demean, and discredit a religion which teaches things that you just do not want to hear.
It teaches things that don't jive with your lifestyle.
That's why you launch into your emotional tirade against it -- you need to drag Christianity down in order to justify, rationalize, and defend your beliefs and lifestyle, both of which are in most ways probably counter to Christianity's message.
You're like the defense attorney who's faced with cross-examining a witness who's just offered damning testimony against his client.
He feels the need to discredit, defame, and attack this witness -- not because he's really concerned about this witness' supposed faults, but because he's desperate to get his client off the hook.
That's what you're doing with Christianity. If you had even the slightest inkling of what true Christianity is all about, you wouldn't attack it so much.
Then again, maybe you would -- because, again, in your mind it helps you rationalize and justify things in your life that Christianity frowns on.
End of the couch session. Settle your bill with the receptionist at the front desk before you leave.

Would it have made more sense to preach war, but practice peace? Most Christians...most PEOPLE I meet in the everyday world are kind and gentle folk. Yes, even the mill-workers and gold-miners, who are rough around the edges. There have been one or two I've come across that have really,...I mean, they were women, and probably suffering PMS.
Soldiers who go to war do not necessarily believe in that war, although they believe in the freedom they are guarding. There are a couple of ways of looking at every situation. Every coin has two sides and all that.

The vast majority of people in America who call themselves Christians simply are not. They are just people who go to church once a week (if that) in a vain attempt to save themselves from hell. They quote the old testament while ignoring everything that Jesus said in an attempt to fuel their own agenda. If our country was truly 85% Christian like it supposedly is, then at least 85% of the country would have been against our current war when it was first proposed.

Ok...
I myself and a christian and I've never even gotten into a physical fight...cept with my brother but...
judging all christians because some are horrible is not the way to go about things.
That's like saying all athies MUST be the scumb of the earth because you see one do something bad.
I never heard of Hitler being a christian...

huh! so have you ever heard of christian organization for restoring christian church rule, that bomb civilians and shot down women? or christian organization recruit kids to blow up the jews tanks in israel? or christians targets restaurants of the shiites infidels in Iraq? or christians brotherhood kill people then claim peaceful?
Did you see christians burned down embassies for insults to jesus? or did you see chrsitians impose apostasy?
by the way, you count incidents of mistakes and casualities of wars and you count all those comming from christian dominated countries representing christianity in general.. but all those did not make up a christian religious organization and not legalized by churches. and never said targets the infidels, like your islamists friend bin laden and others islamists facists do.
