They use this to assert that christianity is an evil force in the world. A christian is defined as one who follows Christ. Therefore I ask if a nation or individual is truly following the teachings of Jesus Christ would they have committed those atrocities?
Um, I guess the answer to your question is "no". Now a question for you: Do you agree with the absurd Christian doctrine that a person could commit any number of atrocities, including murder, rape, theft, etc., but if afterwards they "accept Jesus", they are forgiven of those "sins", and get to spend "eternity" in heaven?
