Guys! the Bible is not about 'Christianity' the word isn't even in the Bible. today it means to most, 'not Muslim' or 'not athiest' so Yes! much done in the name of 'christianity' has been wrong. the Bible IS about God's communication to mankind and man's refusal to accept God's authority and control. 'Christian' in Bible terms, as applied as a nick-name in the first instance, means a true follower of Jesus Christ, ie. a born again person living it out. in that sense 'Christian'histroy started in AD33 and the NT account is without bias (Read Acts 5!)

Nothing much has changed in 2000 years of Church History! the Jewish Council in AD33 tried to stop Peter preaching for the same reasons - 'don't teach in the name of Jesus' Peter said, 'we cannot but speak what we have seen and heard' (Acts 4v20) The impact of and opposition to Christianity since can hardly be expunged by burning a few Books. BTW they burned the first English New Testaments AND the translator, William Tyndale in 1520 - the English Bible since is the officially biggest selling book in history! over 1,000,000,000 copies! Burn a few Encyclopaedias then, the result will surprise the opposition!
