Christianity today through the power of the Media always tries to present the good side of its image, with love, compassion, and let Jesus change your life forever etc. But there is also a dark side to Christianity that must never be forgotten. Most modern day Christians have no idea what went on in the past, and have even less knowledge of what is still going on today within the church through the "World Council of Churches", in this global world in which we live.The supposed Jesus said"By their fruit shall you know them"(Matt.7:20)"A good tree cannot produce corrupt fruit".(Luke 6:43) Well the fruit of Christianity has often been corrupt through the ages and this corruption cannot be disputed.If the supposed Jesus could see the horror that has been done in his name, He would agree with me that the tree must be pulled out by the roots and thrown into the fire.May I start by saying that I was once a water baptised born again Christian who took my faith seriously. I attended all church services at where ever I may have been fellowshipping at the time. These included Mainstream and Pentecostal Churches. If you wanted to put me in a box then I would have been a fundamentalist. I was an active participant at bible study classes, and played an active role in local prayer meetings both in the home and in the Church.This article is not to put down people within the faith who have a serious desire to know the One creator God, but I believe, more so now than ever, that it is important to ask serious questions and demand an accurate answer. Unfortunately I doubt very much if your local Minister or Pastor would have sufficient knowledge to be able to answer accurately any serious probing. This is a serious stumbling block to those who seek truth. I am just an ordinary Aussie bloke with no Initials after my name, but with a burning desire within me for historical truth. In the past 2-3 years I have spent in excess of 1,000 hours in biblical and historical study, and this research is still ongoing.It is a fundamental Christian belief expressed in the New Testament writings and repeated by later Christians, that all pagans (unbelievers) were servants of Satan, and that Christians had a right to protect themselves against corruption by unbelievers, and also a duty to save the unbelievers from eternal damnation and fiery torture in hell. ("hades" Greek mythology) This still applies today.This belief led Christians to slaughter and also to enslave millions of European unbelievers in centuries of crusades, until all of Europe was Christianised. We know that this is true, because Christian clergymen proudly wrote lengthy articles describing in detail the atrocities they committed in forcing unbelievers to conversion.In the 15thcentury and onwards, Christians discovered new lands full of unbelievers, and they did to the Africians and to the Americian Indians exactly what they did to the European unbeliever, but there was one difference. Christian artwork had depicted Satan and his demons as black. Not suprisingly Christians decided that Africans and Indians were a lot closer to Satan than white skinned Europeans, and they (Christians) acted accordingly to protect themselves from the " pollution" of contact with dark skinned people.People should avail themselves and read Historian, Forrest. G. Woods. Book "The Arrogance of Faith." for an in depth exploration of the Christian origins of Racism, Slavery, and Segregation.According to history when the American civil war was over, Sunday mornings became the most segregated times of the week. And its not surprising that the people who were considered unbelievers, (pagans) formed various liberal movements who spoke out firstly against segregation and racism. That's one of the reasons that white segregationists - including clergy - labeled the civil rights movements in America as communistic, a word that they considered synonymous with unbelievers.Germany prior to the rise of Hitler was a Christian nation, the majority of its people were Christian, mainly Protestants. Hitler came to power only through the support of millions of German Christians, including many clergy. both Protestants and Catholic.IMG src="http://www.geocities.com/inexileau/Image1.gif"The above photo shows Hitler with Archbishop Cesare Orsenigo, the papal nuneio in Berlin April 20th 1939, when Orsenigo celebrated Hitler's birthday. The celebration was initiated by Pacelli (Pope Pious XII.)
