Why is Christianity considered good? Look at all the evil which Christianity has visited upon humanity. History records little of it except for those events too large to ignore, the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Salem witch trials, slaughter of the Aztec people and culture, but the lesser crimes are more and more coming to light and let us not be so ignorant as to think these "lesser" crimes were not being visited upon the innocent from time immemorial. Priests diddling young boys, or taking the pick of virginal womanhood for their own carnal pleasures has been going on since Christ died on the cross, and we have the unmitigated gall to accuse pagans of darkness, evil, immorality, and sin? How dare we? But Christianity has come a long way from the belief that anyone who wasn't a Christian must be possessed of some evil for which torture was a remedy and death the only true cure, innocent or not.
