    "True Christianity" as you seem to be defining it has never existed since the Ascension of Christ. The only guide we have is the New Testament. Try reading the Qur'an and Ashtiname - they're all sweetness and light too, and likewise nobody has ever lived it to the letter. Human nature is what it is. Christians aren't perfect - just forgiven.

    The No-true-Scotsman fallacy is a form of illogical argument you should enlighten yourself to.
    Who are you to say those involved in the numerous massacres didn’t believe themselves as righteous as you do? This post was edited by Don Barzini at October 26, 2018 11:53 PM MDT

    Whether they believed themselves righteous or not, by their works they proved themselves to be false Christians.

    This is your opinion. Much like the 12th century Crusaders invading Judea to “liberate the Holy Land” to serve God, was their opinion. You live in a time where you can afford to be pacifist, they did not. 

    All Christianity is false, in my opinion, and by weight of it’s own fallacies. It promotes an impossible standard, degrades the thoughts, bodies and species of it’s adherents, and is founded on words written by men who weren’t present when Jesus lived. Crafted deception, and clearly false. 

    Then come those who criticize their fellow Christians for not following those words as they themselves would. False righteousness.
    Refer to Matthew 18:19-20. This post was edited by Don Barzini at October 26, 2018 11:51 PM MDT

    This is my opinion? It's more like you refusing to believe true Christians that are standing up to their beliefs and living up to God's standards really exist.. Many of these genuine Christians are suffering persecution in Russia, North Korea, Eritrea, etc., because of their loyalty to God's laws. Whether you believe this or not is up to you, as well as YOUR opinion. This post was edited by Autumnleaves at October 26, 2018 11:51 PM MDT

    No religion i.e.  selfishness or self-worship.

    Laughable and bigoted.
    No (theist) religion is to embrace reality absent fables and allegory.  This post was edited by Don Barzini at October 26, 2018 11:51 PM MDT

      Technically and semantically speaking, religion itself does not and cannot kill, it's the people of particular religiona  religion who kill or have killed, either in the name of the religion or supposedly in the name of the religion. 
    Jes' sayin'.

  • Since they worship the same God, can we say God has?

    When it reaches one million plus, who is even counting any more?

    Who is the winner?

    Look how sweet.  We have a lot to learn from this picture.
