I mean, you don't see the Jedi slaying everyone because they are ignorant of the Force. Oh yes, it's real...
So why have Christians gone around killing witches, killing other christians, killing small children, killing large children, killing scientists, killing living things in general, killing themselves, etc.

Because of heresy?

Because if you have no believers, you have no religion.

Heresy is not believing in whatever you believe in, and it has caused deaths for a long time. To most churchmen, heresy is the most horrible of sins. The First Crusade was made up of Catholics who were sent by the Pope to slaughter the Cathars because the Cathars did not believe as the Pope did. The Spanish Inquisition is a joke to Monty Python, but is sure isn't a joke to the thousands slaughtered by them. Even the witch trials in Europe and the US are an example. Heresy is punished by death. In Islam, you have two main factions, and each calls the other heretics. Even in Pagan preChristian times, there are records of one group wanting to kill another because of heresy. It's not just Christians.

Heresy is a blight. As you may bemoan the fact that the Bible has been changed over and over, I can tell you that there have been faithful guardians of the truth who have resisted all attempts to change the Bible, and add flavours of the month to it, by false gospels. I would also challenge your claim that the church has killed scientists. Please indicate ONE specific scientist. A blanket claim is undefensible.

All the miseries found in the bible can be placed on you before you die.
