About this ebook
This book is driven by forty years of study on 1700 years of Christian violence. The historical section, Part 1, opens with, “Christianity is the most homicidal religion in the history of the world…Half a Billion men, women, children, infants, elderly, sick, and disabled slain.” You read how Christians were and are taught to obey their governments more than Jesus Christ, whether killing as soldiers, torturing for governments, or harming innocent citizens as police. You read the words of Christian European Kings, Queens, and Popes to their Christian explorers sent into world, “Discover, subdue, and conquer.”
