Agreed. My point was that _Christians_ (and in some cases those who claim
to be Christians) are to blame for the atrocities that have been committed
over the years, not Christianity itself. It is our observance that is
flawed, not Christianity itself. Russell's view is that all moral systems
are subjective. Mine is that Christianity is an objective moral system --
one that we as Christians do not always observe as we should, but that's
our fault, not the fault of the system. (I really hate calling Christianity
a system. It's our fault rather than the fault of Jesus Christ)
