I did not miss your point at all, Entropist. Nor did I confirm myself as one who justifies monstrosities in the name of God. No, I abhor the idea of it, in all acuality. However, I am also not calling those Christians who attempt to justify these things as not being 'real' Christians. They are as real in their Christianity as I am in mine. They simply have not progressed to a point where they are willing to admit what was done in the name of God was not truly in the name of God.
Again, we go back to growth and expansion. These things are not the moving of goalposts, they are a basic, fundamental principle of life- and of Christianity, as well.
