After reading this whole list, it occoured to me, that aside from a 1998 refrence to the x-files, and a mention of the westborrow baptists, the only other mention of the church was focused in the 13th century to the 15 century. After that the artical points to OT judaism as per the book Chapter and verse it quotes.
That only leaves slavery as for hating Christianity (As per it's only relevent bible verses it quotes)... IF you really want to have that conversation again we can, but needless to say most of you understand (even if you do not agree) that biblical idea of slavery does not fit the popculture understanding of it.
So unless you all can list something of value and back it with some evidence I think this list is pretty useless unless you put your head in the sand and accept the picture of christianity it is trying desperatly to paint.
