It is not so much Christianity, more the so called adherents. Compare what Jesus did and the teachings in the New Testament with what the adherents you refer to are doing, and you will see the dichotomy between the two.

I once did a sort find myself obliged to conduct "internal affairs investigations" on two occasions. One party to this day, never knew they were under investigation or knew of the charge made against them. It is depressing how people purporting to follow Christianity can start to veer from it, even on a minor level. (For the record those I investigated, I cleared with no case to answer, and it was one of the accusers who was required to leave)

I couldn't give two figs about your investigations, take this to a new thread and stop being so disrespectful

the blatant dismissal of families blown to pieces to you can pontifcate about your life

I was responding to Liva and showing from experience that adherents to a faith don't always follow the tenants of that faith, thus giving it a bad name.

you wrote nothing wrong, Sticks

we need a wider perspective as well as talk about this atrocity, these things are not mutually exclusive, the opposite, they aid our understanding

Did you look for for a wider perspective on the NZ thread?

Maybe you can post it for me as I am struggling to find any post where you are trying to excuse the terrorist in question on that occasion and claim a wider perspective

I found this posted by you though, and it applies equally on here as there



don't worry about my head

worry about your own conscience

calling out terrorism is the honest thing to do, not burying your head in the sand and pretending it's something else

While we're seeking a wider perspective regarding the Islamists that slaughtered these people, let's bear in mind that the most wanted terrorists in the world right now are almost exclusively Muslim and no amount of focus on the fact that some Christians/Jews/Hindus etc. also do bad things can satisfactorily explain why Islamists brought about this monstrous, murderous carnage, other than they want to drag everyone back to the dark ages.
