The Barbarity of Christianity (as compared to Islam)

While that is the modern interpretation of that phrase, from the text itself, I do not see any reason to consider it meant to be spiritual at all.

That quote say very little about CHristianity in the early years.It also doesn't address how Christiantiy became later, and how it's exclusive nature allowed for cruelty and barbarity against non-believers.

Ah yes, the 'not a true christian' arguement.WIth that kind of arguement, there are no 'true christians' at all.

An out of context quote does not mean anything.After allLuke 19:27

quote:

---

But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

---

That same technique can be used against Christianity too.

Definitions change.It used to be that marriage was between a man and his wives.In some rare societies, it is between a woman and her husbands.What is one more change?

Let's see.They refuse to let them enter into a legal bond with their partners.There have been efforts to remove protections from gays when it comes to employment, and when ti comes to housing, based on their sexual preferences.They get kicked out of the military if their preferences are found out.Hum. Sounds like being oppressed to me.
