The tenents of Christianity are that humans have original sin. All of us.
The only salvation for this is through belief in Jesus as Son of God who died to
wipe the slate clean with God.
Any Christian who kills in the name of God trying to convert is NOT a Christian.
What has defeated the evils of Facism and Communism and kept them in check has been Nations which are
predominantly Christian in their value systems.
What is waging the war against Jihadist Islam and keeping them in check are the Nations which are predominantly
Christian in their value systems.
The freedoms allowed within the U.S. and other free Nations have been bought and paid for by the Christian value system.
To think otherwise is denying the reality of modern history.
