Not sure youre question makes any sense... But either without refuting your convoluted logic, I'll do you a favor instead... Christianity is NOT the "oldest religion". Not by a longshot. Even among the worlds five major religions, it is not the oldest. Buddhism and Hinduism are far more ancient. IN fact it couldn't be the worlds oldest religion since it borrows so heavily from so many other religions.

What is criminal about being American, British, or African?
And Christianity is not the oldest religion. Christianity only came after Jesus of Nazareth came and that was only 2,000 years ago.

Christianity is not even close to the oldest of religions, before making false accusations look for truth.
i.e. Judaism is the root of Christianity and still exists as an example.

Christianity actually has its roots in Judaism and why do you think all Christians are criminal? Christianity does more to help the poor and impoverished, the sick and the dying around the world, than all other religions combined. Where are the Atheists and the Scientologists when floods and earthquakes ravage parts of this world. Where are Mormons, Jehovahs witnesses and Islam when catastrophy strikes.
Where is Buddhism, Shintoism, Hinduism, Secular Humanism, Marxism, Agnosticism when people are suffering and in need. Who do all the nations of the world look to for financial help? They look to Christian Countries and Organizations such as The Red Cross, Salvation Army and many large evangelical outreaches such as Billy Graham Association, Compassion International and hundreds of others. What have you done to lessen the suffering in this world? I think you would benefit from reading Gods Word and hearing how He blesses His followers and enables them to do His works. God Bless You.

Seriously? Get some historical facts straight...
At any rate, It is not just Christians who are "criminal"...rather this is something that is a result of many different factors that affect people all over the world. It crosses over religions, cultures, race, age, etc.
Criminality has nothing to do with religion.

Christianity is NOT the oldest religion.
Living in America, Britain or Africa does not make a person Christian. Following the teachings of Christ makes you a Christian. Criminals who say they are Christian are a disgrace to Christ.

1. Judaism (from which Christianity came), Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism are all older than Christianity, and those are just the ones off the top of my head.
2. What does the age of a religion have to do with its criminality? I don't understand the question.

1. Christianity is NOT the oldest religion...other religions (mostly animism or ancestor worship) predate it
2. We Christians are NOT perfect....and going to church and such is not the same as having a relationship with Jesus Christ, which makes one lead a better life
