Yes, Christianity is a very forgiving religion. Always has been. Nobody has ever been killed in the name of Chrisitanity. Nobody ever tortured to death or burned to death or seen their children slaughtered in the name of Christianity. Good point!
What's that you say? The Crusades? The religious wars throughout Europe? Northern Ireland? The Salem Witch Trials? The Spanish Inquisition? Bosnia? The Spanish in central America? etc., etc.?
Never mind.
