the declaration by Constantine that christianity be the religion of the Roman Empire, subsequently banning Gnosticism, the burning of the library at Alexandria, thereby limiting the flow of any literature other than that of a christian slant, the thousands of deaths as a relult of the Crusades, the hideous torturings of the inquisition and witch hunts and the slaughtering of thousands of indigeonous souls around the world under the guise of Manifest Destiny is it any wonder that the entire ediface and intent of christianity warrants further investigation?

The Roman Empire under Constatine did more harm to the Church than anything else. constatine appointes himself ruler over the church and allowed paganism into it's doctrine. Therefore watering down the truth. After this it became the Roman Catholic Church. During theDark Ages (it is called this because the Word of God was hidden from the common man). The Crusaders were acting on the orders of the Pope, which is also a man made position. The Inquisitions were held against the Jewish people and anyone that didn't believe as the Roman Church did. The so called witch hunts are worth investigating. They aren't as numerous as one would be led to believe. The Roman Catholic Church and Christianity are two different things altogether.

"Ediface" -- big word there, buddyroe. Was that on your Word-a-Day calendar this morning and you needed a place to use it, so you picked here?

To the best of my knowledge, the Crusades, Inquisition, and the rest of the 'crimes' that you label Christians with have been over for a couple of weeks now. I, personally, have never banned Gnosticism or burned a library. . .at least not this afternoon, anyhow. So why not join the rest of the world in the year 2007 and stop expecting us Christians to fall all over ourselves apologizing for stuff that we're not guilty of?

Oh, and by the way, I don't think Christianity is going anywhere real soon, no matter how many investigations you hold.

The Bible does not justify those things.In fact,those types of actions are forbidden.You cannot blame a religion for the deeds of poeple who clame it's names.
You might as well want to invertigate Islam for it's questionable origins,including the raping and pillaging of Christian towns arnd areas that sparked the first Crusade.In addition,the Inquisition hunted out non-Catholic Christians as well.
Oh,it was not the Christians who burned down the library.
The witch hunts killed 19 poeple in Salem.
And there is absolutely no directive in the Bible to loot out indigenous countries or destroy them.
There are now thousands of Jewish believers in Jesus as well,so yes,some of them are 'buying into it'.
So please,criticise Christianity all you want.But do not get Christianity and the deeds of it's adherents confused.They are two very seperate things.

Christianity is based on the Bible. No matter how you look at it, the rules and things in the Bible are moral and good. It's just that some Christians don't follow certain things in the Bible, or misinterpret it. The Bible says directly, not in parables or anything, that people should not kill. Christianity itself is fine, it's just some Christians who kind of have problems.
