The Nazis haven't killed anyone either in the last 20 years. Should we go ahead and forget about the Holocaust?

The point being that the issue really is that at some point or another someone called upon a particular religion to justify despicable acts. Even the Nazis used Christianity to justify the Holocaust!

How many people have been killed in the name of Christianity, oh let's say in the last 20 years? Let's make it applicable to a current time frame.

The Nazis used Christianity as the justification to their acts.

When the war was over, many Nazis found safe passage to South America, Asia and Australia with the help of fake documents they obtained from the Vatican, thereby making them an accessory after the fact. I don't think that should indict every Christian on the planet, but it makes my point that religion can be easily swayed by money, power or both.

If the Christians tried to exterminate an entire race, no we shouldn't.

Roman Catholicism was established in Sri Lanka by the Portuguese, while the Dutch and the British established their own Christian denominations.



“Previous Popes had made public apologies to certain countries because they destroyed, they killed. We had a similar situation, most of the Buddhist temples were destroyed by them (they) killed Buddhist monks. We would like to see that public apology from him,” said Gnanasara, whose comments were made Monday but embargoed until Tuesday.



There was no immediate comment from the Catholic church.
