the Crusades was a Christin army. In that day and age Most of the solders couldn't read so they had to trust the priest interpretation of the bible they trusted the church and most of /them I am sure believed what they were doing is right and Christan. This is showing what I am saying. Organized religion is what cause the problem second I am sorry I got off topic I was trying to argue about organized religion as a whole. And last that was god that destroyed those towns not the Jews. The same god that you believe in.
I'm sorry, but that was more due to the feudal system. If you weren't a Christian you would be killed. Though that is less to blame on christianity and more to be blamed on kings wanting absolute power which they claimed they had from God.
Those cities were not destroyed by god, at most they were destroyed by jews and blamed on god or fictional. Finally there were many cases where jews destroyed cities themselves, then later claimed it was inspired by God. I thought you would have been smart enough to be referring to that.
If you actually believe God destroyed those cities, do you really believe the action was evil?
Okay a religion is both its doctrine or the people that follow it. So then the bible said those cities deserved to be destroyed And just because this Was written to take the blame the jews that is still in the Holy bible which is at least partially what Christianity now is based on.
Second god made us in his image there for he could have fits of anger. And yes I know the christens believe he is in capable of error, however if I created a universe I would want them to think that I couldn't make mistakes.
Anger is a reflex that has saved many lives, and has protected many families. You can not take an emotion and call it flawed when you represent it in only one context. As for the rest, just because it is our nature to be evil does not mean it is the intent of the religion. People's evil does not make a religion evil. What was written in the old testament is irrelevant, it is simple the words of a jew from a long time ago, he said God gave them permission to kill people, that really doesn't effect how I or any other christian lives their lives. In fact I haven't slaughtered a whole village of people that didn't have it coming to them.
As for your last part about mistakes, I don't get it, you basically just said you agree with god. so sure.
