How many murders have Christians carried out in the past 100 years?

Question

I am sure that all that whipping of the slaves and converting people by the edge of the sword was done in love along with the god's loving mercy burn the witch ceremony and all that

I am just wondering how many people have been killed whipped inprisoned and bought or sold in the name of the Lord .....

What would be the raw number ?

And for all you Christians who will go into a long story about don't blame god - I don't I blame you - and I wonder if the religion is safe to allow on the planet for future generations which is why I ask -

What is the mortality casualty rate anyway

I am sure the suffering of Jesus was nothing compared to the suffering unleashed by the church/religion of "love"

Thats right I should extend the # - These days it is high tech bombings OK then 400 yrs .

I know the British Empire outlawed slavery 200 years ago but it was out lawed in America what How long ago ??


Lets go with How many have been killed by Christians in the last 500 yrs

Oh Hitler was a catholic that believed he too was a good christian and the Pope was careful to not disagree and might have sided with him secretly - So include Hitler if you want - or not

whosajigg

An estimated 50 million were killed in an attempt to convert the heathen to Christianity in that little thing we like to call the Spanish inquisition

Makes the Jews 6 million in the 2nd world war look paultry huh

Opinionat...

WW 2 and a sympathetic pope to Hitler wasn't that long ago - Nor is the devote catholic Hitler and Mousalini ......Not to mention all those alterboys that still walk funny

Answer 1

If you know the entire body count of the Heaven's Gate cult, the Oklahoma City bombings, the Unabomber, and countless other terrorist acts commit by CHRISTIANS you can get your number. (Note that this is all with in the last 10-15 years, let alone the last 100)

Answer 2

less than the godless communists i would imagine, and where did you get 'conversion by the sword'? you are mistaking Christianity with Islam

your real question should be "how many of the murders carried out by people who claim to be Christians are justified by the christian bible?'

to be honest, the only killing that is justified in the new testament is that which is carried out by the government for punishment of crimes that warrant a death sentence.

Romans 13:3-4
For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4 For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing.

swords are not for spankings or conversions.

Answer 3

What is your definition of Christian? There are people who say they are Christian but are really not doing what Christ would have them do. Funny, that's exactly why Christ came, because if Christians could be perfect, then there would be no reason for Christ to come. So if you are asking how many murders Christians committed in the last 100 years, you will have to define the variables. Which Christians do you mean? The sincere ones, or the self-centered ones? The perfect ones (trick question, there are none) or the ones who sin (trick question again because to one degree or another we ALL do Christian or not). So could you please clarify your question?

Answer 4

Humans seem perfectly capable of killing in bulk for many reasons, religious-based or not.

Slavery, most wars, etc. were not done for 'religion'- they were done for greed, money, wealth, power, control, resources, etc.

Religion is just a handy way to convince the 'common man' to fight and die to make the people in charge richer.

It does not take a lot of research to find slaughters that were done around the world in the names of other faiths or other causes, though, so pointing at Christianity is being a little theo-centric and parochial.

Answer 5

If you kill in the name of Christ who told you to "love your enemies" that doesn't really make you much of a Christian does it? Humans are fallen and so you can find killing done in the name of any ideology even Christianity. You should look into the numbers killed by Atheists/Communists who killed more people last century than were killed in the history of all humanity. And then while your at it look at the actions and words of Muhammad who started a religion that really can be blamed for violence. "Kill the Unbelievers wherever you find them" anyone?

Answer 6

radicals of any religion or belief can be a scary, violent thing.

In the last 100 years (from 1907 to 2007) I don't think there was much sword killings or witch burnings in this time range - probably a good handful of KKK lynchings, and maybe some extremists mass suicide groups, and the occasional nut job murderer who said God told them to do it.

edit - to answer your question Slavery was outlawed in America in 1863.

Answer 7

Fair question, but believe me, in the past hundred years, atheist have killed alot more people, in the name of communism in the USSR, China, cambodia, and a few others. That number I believe in in the millions atleast.

Answer 8

Are you talking about 2000 years or because you added slaves and witches, or do you mean from 1907-2007, 100 years?

Answer 9

as a result, to individual who's customary with of the excellent suited subject to do and would not do it, to him it rather is sin. James 4:17 Conversely, to individual who's customary with of the incorrect subject to do and does it, to him it is likewise sin. permit me see if I understand you. you think some issues approximately God, yet you do no longer take Him for what/who he's. you at the instant are not a a hundred% Christian, as a result you at the instant are not a Christian. (are you able to be below a hundred% pregnant?) you're nevertheless maintaining on on your agnostic inclinations. (sin) the two you think or you do no longer. You flow to church and have been christened. as a splash one, or dedicated right into a congregation. that is rather not baptism and has no meaning in Christianity. Ritual. Purgatory isn't a Biblical thought, and is as a result's coaching of yet another gospel. (sin) objectives and "out of physique reviews" are pretend. do no longer positioned inventory in them. as a techniques via fact the song, language, subject concerns, movies, violent video games that kill human beings, or offensive jokes of although variety (that's the offense, no longer the shaggy dog tale) Matt 5:20 will inform you that what you do on your concepts is only comparable to what you do in existence. in case you even get indignant, it rather is like homicide. in case you lust, it rather is rape. video games the place you kill human beings is homicide, so are gory movies. that is rather not approximately restrictive rules. no person is going to gentle you up in case you're making a mistake, yet once you should flow searching for hardship, then your heart and attitude are ruled with the aid of sin. For the physique of concepts on the flesh is dying, however the physique of concepts on the Spirit is existence and peace, Rom 8:6. there is largely one Lawgiver and choose, the guy who's able to keep and to destroy; yet who're you who decide your neighbor? James 4:12. Who am I to decide? as long as we are human beings we are able to sin. It relies upon on the place you attitude is, the place your heart is. you at the instant are not basically doubting God you're doubting your individual ideals on your church. maybe it rather is a robust subject. it is going to deliver you to the factor which you discover out what's rather interior the Bible and who God rather is.

Answer 10
