How many people have claimed to be christians and killed someone by saying that it was "god's will"?

Question

As well how many deaths were caused from it?

Revjam: Hitler wasn't an atheist. He and the whole nazi clan claimed to be christians while being envolved in the occult.

Answer 1

All Christians are killers, or at least accomplices. It's impossible to identify yourself with an organization that is responsible for the deaths of millions and not admit complicity in the acts of the organization. G.W. Bush has gone on record as following God's will and has even stated that God speaks through him. Yet, following "His will" for the past several years has caused the deaths of thousands in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Answer 2

Track record of violence is incredibly high, as 23 countries have been subjected to bombings by Christians.

— China 1945-1946, Korea 1950-53, China 1950-53, Guatemala 1954, Indonesia 1958, Cuba 1959-60, Guatemala 1960, Congo 1964, Peru 1965, Laos 1964-73, Vietnam 1961-73, Cambodia 1969-70, Guatemala 1967-69, Granada1983, Lebanon 1984, Libya 1986, El Salvador 1980, Nicaragua 1980s, Panama 1989, Iraq 1991-1999, Sudan 1998, Afghanistan 1998, and Yugoslavia 1999. Moreover, in the Post-World War II USA assisted in over 20 different coups in the various parts of the world and the CIA was responsible for half a dozen assassination of heads of states.

Answer 3

It's a sad but true, yet such people give a bad name and image to Jesus and His teachings, but remember that they only represent a few in comparison to the millions who follow Jesus and have made this world a better place. On the other hand, how many millions have been slaughtered in the name of atheism (Hitler and Stalin) or even Allah (I've read the historical accounts of Mohammed, and he alone shed much blood). So, I'm just saying, don't lay at the feet of Christianity such great accusations without checking the history of all other religions or philosophies.

Good point Ivan, maybe Hitler wasn't an atheist per se, but he sure wasn't a Christian seeing he murdered a many of those. But his worldview was devoid of God, he stated that he "...wanted to raise a generation of young people devoid of a conscience." Even if he wasn't an atheist, Stalin, who was, murdered over 30 million of his own people. So the point still stands, the facts are in your history books, I've stated nothing but truth. Have a great day!!!

Answer 4

It began in Babylon with Nimrod and goes on to this day in one form or another... Look at Ireland... not as much as they once did but it still goes on... Billions have been killed in the name of a God of love, wisdom, power and justice.
They all fail to realize that if He destroys a person or a town, it is with the perfect wisdom and justice that no other soul can even dream of owning and that when men decide to imitate Him in any way, when it comes to anything but to love, they are as wrong as can be and terribly blood-guilty. Even though Christ nailed the old Hebrew Laws, many still resort to events from it, to justify their greedy and murderous actions. As blood-guilty as it comes is what they make themselves in the eyes of the true God and His son Christ Jesus. Thankfully it will be taken care of real soon, when they themselves will be destroyed once and for all at Armageddon, the last War that will end all wars to set God's very own Kingdom into place as the one and only universal government. At last!
(Matthew 6: 9-13)
The very stenchy smell of it all reaches as far up as the Eternal God's nostrils as He warns us in the only book on earth claiming divine inspiration, to get out of its grip before it's too late and must suffer the plagues awaiting it, namely the Empire of False Religion on earth, "Babylon The Great".

Answer 5

How about Tomás de Torquemada? Does the Spanish Inquisition ring a bell? How about all the heretics and witches killed in the Dark Ages? What about the Crusades? What about the pogroms where they killed so many Jewish Europeans? There are too many victims to count.

Answer 6

Obviously ones who kill and say it's God's will are not "True" Christians at all.

Also, just because someone claims to be a Christian does not mean they are. Just watch their conduct and when they prove not to be, stop arguing about them and get away from them. Don't gossip, just know the truth and steer clear.

Just take a look at Bush and the administration. If that was never any flock of Christians...ha. All of them, all politicians are not "True" Christians.

Answer 7

Many in the past. Maybe some assorted psychopaths and bigots here and there. But i think the Taliban (and idiots like them) are becoming rather proficient in killing by claiming that it is god's will.

This doesn't mean that I'm supportive of the Christian propaganda. In my opinion, they're just a non-violent, sermonizing version of the Taliban who're trying to establish a god-fearing (or as they claim-'god-loving') regime. (or a theocracy- a future which scares me more than any god I've heard of)

Answer 8

Actually, the church itself was largely a part of the destruction. This isn't like we are seeing in contemporary times with some religions where a group of extremists cause trouble. The church itself was the problem for a great span of time.

Answer 9

To all those out there that say that Christians have not killed in the name of Christianity. Search for the Crusades. I'm Christian but I know my history.

Answer 10

GW Bush is a murderer, 650,000 inoocent civilians are dead due to his war, millions diasplaced, and most without clean water or electricity. 3500 of our soldiers are dea becasue of Bush's lies and desire to start an oily holy war with islam. This war had nothing to do with 9/11 or terrorism. Bush/Cheney are murderers. And they are christians. Hypocrites!!
