Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Tamara.

You're right that history has been marked by many abuses carried out in the name of religion, but true followers of Jesus Christ can neither condone nor participate in such atrocities, just as they cannot condone or participate in the torture and killing of innocent human babies or the abandonment of God's design for the family and human sexuality.

Sadly, there are those who pretend to embrace the name of Christ while simultaneously abandoning the principles that Jesus taught and the command to love God and love their neighbors.

Onward...
