Re: Killing in the Name of God.
Jar, I would have a question. Are those who don't follow Christ really 'Christians'? The Bible says that many who claim Christ will not be recognized by Him. 'Christians' who follow Christ aren't supposed to worship idols, yet look at the idols enhancing church buildings and cars.
Just because someone does something 'in the name of Christianity' doesn't mean it is... or they're Christian.
Getting back to the topic... people over the ages, including today, do many unchristian things against others.

Re: Killing in the Name of God.
So 'following Christ' has nothing to do with being a 'Christian'? That is exactly why I turned away from 'religion' when I was in high school... Sunday morning 'christians' are disgusting. Actions speak louder than words and if someone is to truly receive Christ, they must follow His teachings or they are insincere in their actions. I'm quite sure those are the people Christ was talking about when He said He didn't know them.
Doing unChristlike things in the name of Christianity is a slap in God's face. I know that most 'Christian' churches teach that if one 'stands up for Christ' then one is 'saved', no matter what. However I don't know of anywhere that Christ taught that one was to continue on the same path. In fact, He told the woman to "Go and sin no more." It appears that some forget those words as they claim to be 'christians'.
