Name some evils then.
I'm very sorry Solja,, but that is such a profoundly ignorant thing to say that I'm having a hard time believing you're serious.
Just in case, a few broad examples just from Christianity:
The Crusades and constant massacre of innocents during each Crusade,beginning with a pogrom killing the local Jews
Over 1000 years of vicious European anti Semitism which made the Nazi holocaust possible and arguably inevitable.
The massacre of the Cathars,which led to centuries of horror under the Inquistion.
The murder of heretics by Catholics AND protestants.
The suppression of science by the Church,from Galileo and Gordiano Bruno,to the current lunacy of new earth creationists and resistance to cell stem research. Religion ALWAYS rejects science which conflicts with dogma.
The protection and promotion of slavery in our society as 'the will of God' (justified by the Bible) until the C19th
The gross evil of the Catholic Church and its institutional protection of pedophile priests.
The attitude of the Catholic church to birth control, which results in great suffering in millions of people and countless needless deaths due to AIDS..
-I won't even start on tax rorts or the obscenity of televangelists.
As I said, it's hard for me to believe your're serious.I think you're a troll.
