Doubt the direct link between Christianity and the Holocaust... can you deny the link to the Rwandan Genocide?

Question

Rwanda
The Cross and the Genocide
The involvement of Christian societies in the Rwandan genocide

ICTR
African Rights
IRIN - Rwanda
Holy Sea (Vatican)
Rwandan Government




afrol News background - The 1994 Rwandan genocide, killing an estimated 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus, is made even more incomprehensible by the documented participation of many representatives of Rwandan church societies. How could God fearing nuns, and even a bishop, take part in the most cruel crimes against humanity committed on African soil? Even worse, several church societies allegedly were co-responsible for the growing hatred that led to the genocide. It remains an enormous contradiction to the Christian Message of Love. (Does it?)

Anglicans and Catholics were involved but you from other denominations cannot deny you basic commonality with their message.

Answer 1

If you knew your Christian history, you wouldn't even bother to ask.
Christians are always involved in massacring people, its called evangelism.
It would be surprising if they weren't involved.
Remember they can do this with clear consciences because their God will forgive them.
But the victims of the massacres will all burn in hell.

Answer 2

no person is denying the Armenian genocide. With a acceptance like 'actuality' you rather have a fashion of twisting data. what's being reported is that detrimental family with Turkey is a extra pressing rely than recognizing their previous action as genocide. what's the wear in letting this pass until eventually we don't count number on Turkey, and then passing this decision? the respond is none, however the Democratic congress finds it too opportune to pretend to care approximately recognizing genocide, particularly while it could harm help for an ongoing conflict we are in touch in. "to disclaim it is to pass lower back to the days while we would help evil dictators on the muse of the lesser of two evils. grow to be this staggering then and is it now? NO. And while we claimed to pass after the top of the snake or evil we had extra advantageous ensure our own residence is clean." lol, you're humorous. maximum folk vote casting for president gain this on the muse of the lesser of two evils :) while confronted with all evils, i might say the wisest determination is to %. the least of all, in case you ought to make a call. and that i've got have been given information for you: thinking what we did to blacks throughout slavery, and to community human beings while we first settled right here, our abode isn't clean, no longer by way of any stretch of the mind's eye. Calling a a hundred 300 and sixty 5 days previous act genocide resolves no longer something, those everybody is ineffective and long gone and not something brings them lower back. All it does is anger Turkey; it rather is all. would not make the international a extra advantageous place.

Answer 3

Mankind has used religion as an excuse for many things over the years. The truth is that the Crusades, the Holocaust, the Genocide etc would all still have happened in some form or another without the influence of religion.

Answer 4

Yup, sure does.

First of all, realize that not everyone (nor every church) who claims to be Christian really is. When you are truly born again, all things become new. Not that Christians don't sin; we do.

Compare their actions to the Bible and you'll see that they either aren't Christians, or are massively sinning (likewise the slaveowners and bigots in our country).

(Compare Muslims' violence to the Koran and Hadith and you'll find something interesting, too, but that's a different issue.)

And everyone has blind spots (where are yours?). Take Martin Luther, for instance. He was a great man and a true Christian. Yet he did not separate totally from Catholic practices, bring many practices and concepts into the protestant church. He was also anti-Semitic in his later years (after initial evangelization attempts proved unsuccessful), and Hitler used his writings to his advantage. Because he was such a dynamic and forceful person, he was not balanced.

BTW, are you aware that atheistic evolution is responsible for millions of deaths? Hitler wanted to purify the Aryan race so it would be able to evolve into the next stage. That's why he killed people who were only a small fraction Jewish. And the natives of Tasmania were rounded up and murdered; that was okay because they were "inferior." Darwin himself considered Blacks closer to apes than to whites.

Answer 5

NONE!

I fail to see ANY connection between Christianity or Christians in the Rwanda Mass Murders.

Possibly you are confusing the Vatican Catholic machine with TRUE CHRISTIANITY!

NO WAY!

Answer 6

Well in a way you could say they were doing their best to imitate the OT God and his 'forgiving ways'...

In reality though it wasn't about religion. It was a tribal grudge going back centuries before any of them had embrace christianity.

Answer 7

Well is it ok for Zionist Jews to leave boobie trapped toys behind in Palestine for Palestinian children to blow them up? I think that is wrong.

Answer 8

makes you kind of sick doesn't it?
