Pretty silly post
Prove it.
​
Are you saying I had something to do with Hitler killing millions of Jews, just because I choose to try and follow Jesus?
​
That is what you are trying to imply, so I say BS jar.
​
Are you also saying that Christianity is to blame for my response to you?
​
The sins of the father are not visited on the son. You are not responsible for what Hitler did, but Christianity certainly shares in the blame.
​
And you most certainly are responsible for the continued oppression being done by Christians today.
​
A basic tenet of Christianity is that you must be honest about your failings as well as your successes.
​
To simply say that those incidents were "Not True Christians" is a total complete cop-out.

Jesus was not a Christian
If Jesus was the only true Christian, then Hitler certainly was not Jesus.
​
he was a nice Jewish boy.

Re: Pretty silly post
Well, I doubt that you were old enough to have been responsible for what Hitler did. But Christianity certainly was, and is. And like all Christians, including me, we are responsible for the errors Christianity is making today unless we stand up and point them out.
​
Unless we recognize the evils done by Christianity in the past, how can we expect to recognize the evils being done by Christianity today?

Re: Question...
I don't know if I gave you this link before. If I did, then sorry for the repeat.
