Racism has nothing to do with God. It has to do with ignorance. Heaven is full of different races. The only people hung up on skin color are human beings. People use anything to justify wrong behavior. Just like Atheist have historically did when they killed millions of people back in the 16th and 17th centuries. It's not limited to Christians. And Christianity was not found on any of the things you said. Christianity is believing that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins. Love, peace, humility have nothing to do with the sacrifice that he made on the cross for you to live. Those are personality traits of Jesus which we should attempt to be like.

[Theophane]

The Bible has blinded many people into committing atrocious acts "in Jesus' name."

Probably the biggest understatement of all time! Whole libraries could be filled with volumes that chronicle the atrocities committed in Jesus' name. But for all that, is Jesus Christ less holy? Less perfect?

Absolutely not. It just means that talk is cheap. Actions are what are important. People can talk about scripture-this and scripture-that till the cows come home. But if they act worse than unbelievers, then what?? Then all their talk doesn't mean anything, because their actions declare their true colors.
