Christianity & Violence: Justifying Killing in the Name of Religion
How has Christianity managed to be such a violent religion even while its adherents have so often promoted it as a religion of peace? Why has Christianity been a source of violence between Christians as well as violence directed against non-Christians? Justifying violence and war hasn't been very hard, unfortunately, and we can identify some good examples of that by looking at Crusades.
Christian Justifications for Violence
The Crusades aren't the only example of violence in Christian history, but more than any other era it was characterized by mass, organized violence that was explicitly justified with specifically Christian arguments. The ability of Christian leaders to launch multiple crusading wars against non-Christians and Christian heretics will tell us a lot about the relationship between Christianity and violence.
In The Crusades: A History; Second Edition, Jonathan Riley-Smith writes:
For most of the last two thousand years Christian justifications of violence have rested on two premises.

The first was that violence — defined crudely as as an act of physical force which threatens, deliberately or as a side-effect, homicide or injury to the human body — was not intrinsically evil. It was morally neutral until qualified by the intention of the perpetrator. If his intention was altruistic, like that of a surgeon who, even against wishes of his patient, amputated a limb — a measure which for most of history endangered the patient's life — then the violence could be regarded as being positively good.

The second premise was that Christ's wishes for mankind were associated with a political system or course of political events in this world. For the crusaders his intentions were embodied in a political conception, the Christian Republic, a single, universal, transcendental state ruled by him, whose agents on earth were popes, bishops, emperors and kings. A personal commitment to its defence was believed to be a moral imperative for those qualified to fight.
Religious and Non-Religious Justifications for Violence
Unfortunately, it's common to see people trying to excuse religious violence by insisting that it is "really" about politics, land, resources, etc. It's true that other factors usually exist, but the mere presence of resources or politics as a factor doesn't mean that religion is no longer involved — nor that religion isn't a cause or being used as a justification for the violence. It certainly doesn't mean that religion is being misused or abused.
I don't think that there are any religions where religious doctrines have not been brought in the service of justifying war and violence. I also don't think that these religious doctrines were merely used as convenient "excuses" which people used for doing what they wanted to do in the first place. Perhaps this has been the case in some situations, but for the most part I think that people have genuinely and sincerely believed that war and violence were logical outcomes of their religions.
Religion and Complexity
It's true that Christianity makes a lot of statements on behalf of peace and love. Christian scripture — the New Testament — has a lot more about peace and love than about war and violence and little that is attributed to Jesus really advocates violence. So there is justification for thinking that Christianity should be more peaceful — maybe not perfectly peaceful, but certainly not as bloody and violent as Christian history has been.
Nevertheless, the fact that Christianity offers many statements on behalf of peace, love, and non-violence doesn't mean that it must necessarily be peaceful and that any violence committed on its behalf is an aberration or somehow un-Christians.. Religions offer contradictory statements on all issues, allowing people to find justification for just about any position within any religious tradition of sufficient complexity and age.
Religious belief systems are like any complex ideology or philosophy — which is to say that they don't force only certain conclusions and no others. When it comes to non-religious belief systems, people have come to terms with this. They may not like it very much, but they accept that differences and disagreements are necessary. Religions, though, don't typically allow for this and so we have people fighting over the One True Interpretation of religious tradition. This, ironically enough, merely serves to add to the
 
怎么我认识的加拿大人,没有一个张口闭口说GOD的啊。一对绝对虔诚的教徒夫妇,也从来没有同我谈过宗教问题。

在他们当中,有个传教士的太太。她在一个集会上遇到个中国人。这个中国人夸夸其谈,同她说有关宗教的话题。她不客气地说,"我先生是个传教士。我知道什么是宗教。"

I don't like talking about 宗教. For knowledge purpose, it is OK though. I can share my personal faith 信仰 - if people are interested in the topic.

宗教不是自己的,信仰是自己的;我也相信人人都有 some type of faith。
 
成年以后再入教的?


中国大陆移民,有几个出自基督教/天主教家庭,有几个在国内就是基督教/天主教教徒。
 
我倒是觉得他说的挺对的。
这就是个精神病, God只不过被拉来当遮羞布的。

这就是个精神病, God只不过被拉来当遮羞布的: AGREE WITH YOU!!

你可以不回答我的问题。
如果你不介意的话,能告诉我你是什么时候入教的么?你是出自基督教/天主教家庭么?
 
中国大陆移民,有几个出自基督教/天主教家庭,有几个在国内就是基督教/天主教教徒。
还是有一些的, 不占多数就是了。
不过, 就跟基督教的特点一样, 国内的各种地上地下的教会, 派系分支一样花样繁多, 鬼知道是不是正宗的呢。
广西还出过长毛, 耶稣的弟弟把半个中国的人都convert成信徒了呢。

Very few for sure.

@urus 你说这些很多基督徒不接受的。在这个坛子我听到基督徒说得比较多的是,道德来自他们的神,人是没有道德的。神让杀孩子一定是对的,应该照办。

我所考虑的是:这个精神病为啥不拉别的, 非要拉god过来当遮羞布呢???
哦~~~ 原来她身为洋人, 就没啥别的可拉了, 因为只有一块布, 叫God。
这要是我天朝精神病, 那可拉的布就太多了, 什么弥勒降世, 什么无生老母真空家园, 什么马克思列宁主义, 什么兰若寺的姥姥,什么玉皇大帝东海龙王。。。。 且排不到God呢。

半个中国: 夸张了吧。

这是他们说的, 不是耶稣基督亲口对你说的, OK?
神说的要照做, 人说的, 呵呵, 你也要保持礼貌, 微笑点头, OK?

精神病讲不通,什么都拉。
