Christianity as a whole has been a tool to control the masses. I think the Church ceased being a spiritual entity after the Council of Nicea and it has been a political entity since. It has twisted what should have been a religion f peace and has advocated torture and war in the name of religion. I don't know how you can think that hasn't been moved forward into the Christian psyche. While yes, you can find people who truly are Christian as Christ taught, but they are the exception unfortunately...not the norm.

For example, I can think of several people who call themselves Christians who, I have found, do what they say they will do. I can think of two examples of friends of mine who are in our community. Bring specific examples, back what you're saying up with facts! I honestly don't think you can point to Christianity as a religion as being the root cause of this person's horrible act. Or the ills of our society. Prove to me that Christianity is what's to blame here.
