About This Quote
The idea that Christianity was a religion of peace is not something that many Christians would defend. Quite the opposite, in fact. The Apostle Paul spoke about how the world will end with fire, and that Jesus Christ will return for His disciples to be judged, so they better start hanging around with the right people. Christianity is also very much a religion of violence.
It preaches murder and hatred against those who do not believe in Jesus Christ. Part 3 - Religion - specific - Christianity - Christian - Bible - Christianity
