If God, Himself, gave US free will, why does the Reich Wing feel THEY know better what HE wants?

I don't think that any one who really has studied the life and teachings of Jesus can "hate anyone in His name" because it goes against everything Jesus ever said or did.


So people who promote hatred in "God's name" are fakes. USING the power of religion to get what they want or believe is "right".

Crusades were not any kind of "Holy War" it was the Church trying to be a power.

Borgias did a lot of damage.

Inquisition any one?

Pedophiles in the priesthood. Yah.

But I still believe in the example that Jesus set and taught is worthy of following. I have only my personal faith to say that He is from God and of God, but that is what faith is about.

What people do in the name of God that is Unholy is ON THEM. I don't blame God for human's choice to be evil.

It's like blaming the rules of the game when people cheat. IF the REF turns a blind eye, or if God lets people get away with so much.... I do kind of get mad at Him for not stepping in more. But I still don't think that God WANTS people to hate others in His name.
