Crusades aside, I do have a argument for that but i'll ignore it. When else has there been a organized Christian attack on others, by a Church?
I remember hearing something about a guy bombing a abortion clinic but thats about it? Oh and I have heard arguments attributing the salem witch trials to Christians. Am I missing any?
Lets see:
The Albigensian crusade
The Teutonic crusade (against the Romuva Balts)
The inquisition
The 30 years war (and other catholic-protestant wars between 1550 and 1700 c.)
The Spanish and Portuguese wars of colonialism (Spain to convert the heathen, Portugal to get at islam by the back door)
The forcible conversions and treatment of nkn christian populations as slaves during the scramble for Africa.
And then you've got stuff like the Opium wars where the idea that christianity and christians were naturally superior lead the British to believe they had a right to subjugate China.
