    Christianity hasn’t killed people. People who would have killed people anyway taking parts of Christian scripture out of context has killed people. By that logic, scientific studies have killed people due to eugenics. Should that mean that we should ban the study of science or even genetics? Absolutely not!

    What do you categorise as “forcing their beliefs on other people”?

      I wonder what the hundreds of thousands burned alive for not being Christian would say to your comment.

        See, I could reply to this with “nothing, because there’s no afterlife”. That’s what’s irritating: taking figures of speech or offhand comments based on this old idea of God and opting to be a humourless little twerp about them.

        Where does the Bible say to burn people alive for not being Christian?
