"Therefore I ask if a nation or individual is truly following the teachings of Jesus Christ would they have committed those atrocities?"
The answer, as I think I have just demonstrated, is yes. Just because a person is a Christian does not mean they can't commit atrocities.
Well, what I'm saying is that a christian can commit atrocities, but if he does he's not following the teachings of Jesus when he is committing the act. I'm trying to refute the assumption that christianity is bad because christians have committed atrocities. Or maybe they were claiming to be christians, but in reality they were not. In either case, they were not following Christ when were committing the act.
