Been reading a lot about Christianity lately. Generally speaking, a lot of people in power have perverted the religion in order to maintain power and gain wealth. (Much like the perversion of Islam today, I imagine.)
Burning people at the stake, torturing, killing, and leveling waste to entire populations is nowhere to be found in Christ's teachings in the New Testament.
Nowhere.
In fact, one should read the New Testament, the teachings of Christ, and ONLY THAT and then form one's own opinions of what Christ was attempting to convey.
For the record, I think that being a Christian involves following Christ, not scattered sentences in the Old Testament. My humble opinion only, of course.
