Doesn’t Christianity Hinder Morality And Cause Violence?

Today we will look at two questions from the book Confronting Christianity that address similar issues. Doesn't Christianity hinder morality? And, doesn't Christianity and religion cause violence? Be careful not to answer these questions to hastily. The truth is that religion is the cause of much suffering, injustice, hate, and evil around the world. Furthermore, religion has pushed agendas and morals that have deeply hurt people. And yes, at some times and places, institutional Christianity is equally guilty. The Gospel, on the other hand, is something different. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus teaches His disciples about the quality and ethic of life that His followers should have. The truth is that the influence and impact of those who have lived as salt and light around the world has been monumentally positive. Today we will examine some of the entrenched benefits the Gospel has had on our culture and in other places around the world. Furthermore, we hope to show that those who reject religion while calling for human rights and justice are actually borrowing ideas that began with Jesus.
