Can't you say something better than this? These followers of Christ died for their faith individually. What can you do as an individual? Judge and condemn others? Oh my Dear God.
Your type will deny Christ the first chance they get.
Girl, it's personal. That your priest filling you with hatred and bitterness against Christians (exactly as the Isalmic Imams are doing) will stand and answer first for his evil, then for turning you against the children of God.
