Millions have died in wars inspired by Christian values and teachings.
In the past, Christians often instigated bloody wars around the world inspired by Biblical texts and Christian teachings. Millions died at the hands of Christian soldiers who fought to bring their religious convictions in their savior, Jesus Christ to the fore.
God blessed them; and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and
RULE OVER the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.
The Christian Bible was often quoted as the authority to justify the barbarism, cruelty, land grab and even genocide over others. The table below lists 67 Christian conflicts.
