That is the by-product of corrupt and sinful people, however, not because Jesus advocates violence. We would question your statement that Christians put the entire population of Jerusalem to death. Where did you come up with that? Is there something in history that we missed? As for your other statement that we "defame" other faiths, we would ask that you support your statement. That's a very serious charge. We explain the beliefs of other faiths from their own holy books and practices. How is that defaming?

How many times did Christians put the ENTIRE POPULATION on Jerusalem to Death by the sword? How many died during the Inquisition? How many were executed for Heresy or Blasphemy? Copernicus had to "reform" his ideas about the cosmos because they flew in the face of the Church's Dogma. Please, at least be honest about Christianity with the same zeal you would defame other faiths like Islam or Judiasm. Jesus would ask nothing less of you.

I'm impressed that you can watch "Christianity 101" in Guatemala. May the Lord bless your work among the youth in that country. You are to be commended for living on the edge to do the Lord's work.
