    What I find is strange is that you claim that the fatal flaw in christianity is that the Bible is not a philosophical text, but yet you don't have an argument why this would be a flaw. I would honestly say that your claim is false, because the bible is a philosophical book, that basically revolves around Jesus' teachings. In my opinion if the bible can't be considered a philosophical text, then a lot of the dialogues written by philosophers can't be considered philosophical either. Anyways I'd like to hear your argument why the Bible is not a philosophical book?

    Just as note, that what I refer as the Bible is actually the new testament.

A person who taught love and to treat everyone as he would like to be treated. How could people blatantly ignore that?
    Because they're humans in good and bad...For ages the humans have been pretty mean and evil people. All those lynchings, murders, wars, executions etc. are not caused by Christianity, but by humans who claimed that they believed in it. Remember that religion is a mighty tool in the hands of someone who knows how to manipulate the people who believe in it.
    It's also a very easy way to justify things and the perfect excuse at times.
    What I'm trying to say is that the blame for those horrendous acts goes to the humans who commited them, not to Christianity.
