Maybe I just read too much into things while I'm reading, but this is how I felt after reading your post: James, many civilizations based on human sacrifice, animal worship, and almost any other belief system you can imagine have lasted for several thousand years at least in ancient times. Many of them added at least as much to inventions, art, and basic human knowledge and development as any Christian society ever has. Read: Past pagan religions including ones with cannabilism contributed as much to humanity as Christianity When you take into consideration the Inquistion, during which estimates ranging from several hundred thousand to nine million women were burned at the stake as the Christians swept across pagan Europe, and the Christian anti-Semitism which was a large factor in how the Holocaust was allowed to happen, an argument could certainly be made that civilizations do not prosper or survive any better under Christianity than under any other belief system, and may leave quite a few victims in their wake as well. Read: And Christianity did all these nasty things Conclusion: Christianity is bad for humanity Maybe this is not what you meant Christine, but this is how I read it. Tom

Jesus said this: Matthew 10:34 "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." This is the "church age". I would also call it the age of decision. When the decisions are all made (when everyone person has decided whether or not they will take the mark of the beast) then the age of decision will end. Your poor understanding of history leads you to say the holocaust was the result of a misunderstanding of the the new testament. Satan hates the Jews because through them Jesus came into the world. Satan thought he has won when he managed to get Jesus killed but all too quickly for him he found out his error and he has lost forever. It is not too surprising that he managed to gain control of a country through occult control of it's leaders (much the same as he does today) and orchestrated a terrible slaughter of the Jews. He works today to establish a "new world order" and do the same thing on a world wide scale. It's revenge for his loss of dominion and he future defeat when Jesus returns. He will gather the whole world against Israel and lose one final time, but not before much suffering by God's chosen people which is the "Church" or the saved, those who refuse the mark of the beast. You are a very deceived person Christine, only the Holy Spirit can break through that and reach you. I hope He does. Bob
