God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the same being in different forms.

This inspired and justified the murders of millions over the coming centuries. It's ok if we use lethal force to make them convert because we'll be saving their souls. Now we get to use fear to reinforce our self-righteousness.

Christianity is responsible for bloody crusades, cruel persecution, and the existence of people like Vinth.

Man is responsible for that, not Christianity. I do not see ANYWHERE in Christ's teachings that say to go out and torture and kill people if they do not convert.

I would advise those of you who are reasonable christians to simply boycott it. You can keep some of the values without attatching yourself to the institution which, in many instances, does not represent what you truly believe.

I think I come closer to agreeing with you on that part. I discarded organized religion about 7 years ago because the church is full of old thought, and highly unlikely to foster any change.[/b]
