14. To paint Christianity as the driving force of altruism in the modern world is ridiculous.

Cases in point:

The Crusades lasted for almost 200 years.
The Inquisition. We hear much about the capital "I" inquisition, but these events have occurred worldwide throughout history.
Forced Conversions and Colonization of indigenous peoples - again, all over the world.
Catholics vs Protestants created some of the goriest battles in history.
Justification for Slavery and support of Jim Crow laws.
Suppression of women's right to vote.
Current backlash against the homosexual community.
Persecution of immigrants in this country right now.

Jesus promoted altruism, but the majority of his followers don't practice what he preached.
