Attn: Christians, We've Heard Them Already

[Esquilax]

I'm not saying that Christians are perfect. Quite the opposite. What you can't do is judge the ideology on actions contrary to the ideology.

But you can judge the ideology based upon the core concepts of it. I know you guys like to pretend those are all peace and love, but I seem to recall some pretty nasty stuff within there, about who to slay and who to own, that tend to get ignored these days. Which I'm happy about, really I am, good for you christians, but then we come to an uncomfortable question; what can we really judge the ideology for, then? The people, or the concepts they selectively follow?

Which is the right way to judge and, in the end, is there really a difference? You would have it so that we can't judge your religion based either on the unfavorable actions of its adherents, nor the unfavorable tenets of the ideology itself; that's inherently dishonest.
