There is no evidence for Christianity presented here that isn't just as terrible as the evidence for Zeus, Osiris, Lord Vishnu and a host of other gods both inventions of past and present with significant followers. Most had some mixture of there own revelations, miracles, human impreganations, significance of stellar occurances, heroic deeds, scarifices, resurrections, the list goes on. Whats different about Christianity other than you beleive it to be true and the others false?
To argue as you have done about the Catholic church flies in the face of all the evidence. Is it evil? I don't know but it covers up child rape of small boys and girls by its own preists, surpresses the use of condoms to prevent the spread of aids and actively discriminates against people it doesn't like (homosexuals for instance). I would say that it is a twisted and hypocritical institution at best. As for it standing in the face of Hitler, that really is laughable. It managed to celebrate Hitlers birthday from every catholic pulpit, turned a blind eye to the jewish question, and cannodled with Hitler regularly. All Nazi catholics remained catholics until the end except one. Its one act of contrition was to ex-communicate Goebbels, because he married a protestant (Magda). Yes the catholic church does have standards, just not the ones I recognize.
