In defense of Christianity:

My point of Christianity not spreading by the sword, was in refference to the fact that from 50ad to 500ad, it spread without a battle. It faced tons of opposition from every government that killed, jailed, and destroyed both Christians and the Bible.

Did some "Christians" kill lots of people trying to "spread Christianity"? Absolutely. The issue is that these people that did that were heretics calling themselves Christians, but were not in the least. Christianity promotes nonviolence. Look at Jesus, Malchaus and Peter in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Look at the writings of the apostles that were jailed, beaten, and killed for their Christian beliefs - and they counted it fine, joy, and without reprisals to those that did it. Compare it to Islam, and theres a huge difference.

 Well, I saw that coming, but nevermind. People calling themselfs Muslims killed in the name of Islam. as some "christians" did. Just because you heard or maybe you think that Islam is all about violence and killing doesn't make it correct.

Seeing you make such a statement here push me to deny what you're saying. What the world is living now helps crazy rumors and incorrect statements about islam spread like fire, and unfortunatly you seem to be one of those who don't know much about Islam.

The debate started about if people believe in God, and I don't want to turn it into anything else.
