- How would you answer someone who claimed that Christians have been responsible for most of the problems in the world?
Not true. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot have slain 10s of millions. - In particular, how would you answer someone who illustrated the badness of Christians by referring to the crusades, the inquisition, the witch trials, or slavery?
Not all who claim the name of Christ are true Christians. Even if true Christians have done bad things, that doesn’t mean Christ has. We follow Christ, not bad so-called Christians. - How would you answer someone who pointed out that the Bible is actually an evil book and referred you to passages advocating the killing of babies?
