text: Do you think Catholics are Christian?    I don't care one way or the other, it's your life.    No Christian church has done more good or more harm than the Catholic church has done in its history.   
  
  When you combine religious 'certainty' with very real human power to control outcomes we all lose our freedom of choice.  Christian churches have had periods of murder justified by claiming it was 'God's will'.    We're seeing the same arrogance and human self centeredness is some sects of the Muslim religion.   If you look at primitive cultures they also had spiritual lives, sometimes very brutal.     
  
  Churches have also saved live by providing food/shelter/medical care/amnesty and sanctuary to those who are persecuted or in need.   The old testament in particular talks about the proper treatment of immigrants who are fleeing persecution. (Jews out of Egypt for instance)
  
  My intent is not to judge people by their cover, in this case, religious labels.
