GOD THE BIBLE AND TRUE CHRISTIANITY Is Christianity evil? "Absolutely yes," would say militant atheists. They would then proceed to point out that the history of Christianity is replete with examples of wars, persecutions, greed, immorality, etc. that manifest both cruelty and hypocrisy. This site acknowledges that some Catholic and Protestant Christians of the past have committed atrocities, injustices and immoral acts that were far from shining examples of Christianity. On the other hand, this site does not recognize that such actions were committed by "true" Christians. No sensible and rational mind would accept the claims of anyone who calls himself an atheist while regularly praying to God. Furthermore, no one would accept the claim of anyone who asserts to be a Marxist, while openly supporting capitalist principles. The glaring paradox found within such examples is the same glaring paradox that spotlights the fact that butchers, the power hungry, the greedy, and the hypocrites of the past were "pseudo-Christians" and not true followers of Jesus Christ. To determine if one is an atheist, one need only check the foundational views of Atheism. To determine of one is a Marxist, one need only check the foundational views of Marxism. To determine if one is a Christian, one need only check the teachings of Jesus Christ. What follows are some of the fundamental teachings of Jesus Christ. An honest reading of some of His central teachings quickly reveals that the many shameful acts committed by "Christians" of the past were the actions of evil and hypocritical men and women, not the actions of "true" Christians.
