But given that the Bible and God himself repeatedly endorses and instructs God's followers to sack a city, kill all the children and rape the women, why do you think it is we don't see Christians doing more of that?
Interestingly, many criminals and most serial killers are Christian.
The misery of prisons does wonders for turning people to religion. Prison is a gold-mine for missionaries.
not true

Most Jews have been blinded because they have rejected the Messiah. Islam has minimized Jesus as just a prophet. Christians have accepted Jesus as He claimed to be - the Son of God.
Emphasis on the "claimed to be".
THere have been thousands who have made the same claim.
The movie "The Life of Brian", showing many prophets standing on the streets has been described as historically accurate.
To quote a Dire Straits song,
"Two men say they're Jesus,
One of them must be wrong!"
So you place your faith on "Life of Brian" and Dire Straits?
