Kay, you are really blinded by your own hubris. Again, you are entirely too selective about whom you call Christian. Using your logic, any group could claim superiority, by excluding those who are members of that faith. If a buddhist was as bad as Hitler was -- oh, he's just a bad buddhist, not really a buddhist. By excluding all the bad members, they're left with only the good. That's what you're doing, and it really is a farce.
Quoting: ÆonThere are very specific tests that are given by Jesus, that are recorded in the Bible that show us how to know whether or not a person is a Christian, so I am not being 'entirely too selective', just following the method of how to analyze their behavior.

The point is, is that you cannot refute that fact that Christianity, even an apostate one, has brought the greatest humanitarian changes to the planet in the last 200-300 years.
You will still find polygamy acceptable in most other religions - in Hinduism, in Buddhism, in Islam, African animists. I don't know, maybe if you are a man, you would like that! But still, it is a measure of a society how they treat their women.
You will still find religiously approved and society-approved slavery in these same places.
You find religiously approved racism in many places.
You will find religiously approved REVENGE and HONOR killings.
BUT THE FACT IS, YOU WON'T FIND IT IN CHRISTIAN DOMINATED AREAS -
TODAY.
You will instead find the philosophy of FORGIVE, FORGET AND MOVE ON.
Or even, the motto that Naturyl, who mocks Jesus Christ follows. "Do unto your neighbor as you would have them do unto you." And that is from THOSE AWFUL JEWS, you know.
