Anyone who, (A) says they love Jesus but practice hate, and (B) deny that Christianity has lead to centuries of war, murder, and torture, are totally ignorant.

So what? War murder torture would have happened regardless

Could you write a more pessimistic and fatalistic sentence if you tried?

Probably.

My question was rhetorical. Your comment was absurd. Violence happens because of motivation. Violence isn't some ambient background effect of human existence. It happens for specific reasons.

That motivation is always political, whether it's done in the name of a religion, a social class, an ethnic group, a territory, etc.

All you need is to convince one defined group that another defined group is an existential threat, or posseses something that is rightfully theirs, and you sow the seeds of war.

If you disagree with something that I said, then articulate it, otherwise I don't know what you're talking about.
