As stated below:

And you're acknowledging, as a Christian, that you're not able to disavow all of it--the barbarism advocated by Yahwism, the early Christians (salvation by human sacrifice, the sufferings of non-believers in hell for eternity), not to mention, by your own holy texts, you're not really in a position to judge who "true" Christians are. The Inquisitors praised and claimed guidance by the same books you esteem sacred with equal, or perhaps more, reverence.
No. I'm saying that christians are not allowed to persecute and murder. I'm not referring to what God can do.
