We must remember that Satan and his followers pose as angels of light, so me must not just assume that when we see Christians commit atrocities in the name of Christ, that they really are Christians. True Christians do not rely on themselves, but on God who raisieth from the dead and God is faithful to His promises. This is not meant to start an argument, but to make sure that even Christians understand that when someone comes to Christ he is a new creature, the old has past.

It is okay you didn't do anything wrong, I actually should have clarified in my earlier post. I know we have 1st Amendment Rights, but in a lot instances our amendments don't matter to anyone. Just look at the schools that refuse to say the pledge of the Allegiance because it says "under God" It was during class time while the instructor was speaking introducing the chapter and I could not stop and pray for her right there. I however, did pray on my own for her healing.
The term Christian was first used in Antioch I believe. It was INTENDED to be an insult to any and all who professed Jesus. Problem was, it backfired on those who would slander Christ and His disciples. The new believers gladly embraced this new "title" and it has remained THE identifying "title" of all who profess Jesus the Christ as Lord and Savior to this day.
While I do not agree with the OP, let me suggest that [in a certain way] intended or not, there is a modicum of truth in what Bondservant asserts.
When he states Christianity is the most offensive religion the world has ever known...........in a peculiar way, he is somewhat right.
Given that Christ (God) requires personal responsibility from all His children for all their words, deeds and thoughts, and given that our God is the ONLY living God, and given that Jesus is the ONLY way to heaven, and given that all who worship another God than our God will never receive eternal life...........
I can see how that COULD BE offensive to a whole bunch of people in this world.
Other than that............the examples given in the OP are way off the mark.

And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow;
and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
The first and most deadly horseman is religious deception!
The word conquer means “to come off with the victory”
that the largest organized religious “cult”on Earth today waged
the bloodiest battles ever, in the name of God.
The horseman has wreaked havoc on mankind with religious wars throughout history.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
a roman emperior took Christs name, and made Christ-ianity, many denomanations from.
a non religious person sees religious conflict in history, and wonder if God made this.
