Most of your gripes are historical in nature. I think you should balance them against things like the vast number of religious charities for the poor and sick, the hospitals (The first hospitals in history were developed by christians btw - christian crusaders even.), etc. The slave trade was also ended by Christian evangelicals btw.

I said Christians do good things as well as bad things. You all seem to want ignore the bad and assume everything is great with Christianity. That's not the way I was raised. I am more of a realist.......not in denial.

>Thats a ridiculous position to take.

Except it isn't.

>There's no birth records etc of Alexander the Great, HAmmurabi, Julius Caesar, Aristotle etc either. The existence of Jesus is as well or better attested than any of these folks.

There are contemporary written records of all of these people (except for maybe Hammurabi). None of Jesus. I'm not saying Jesus didn't exist, but he might not have.
