When Christians do really really bad things

Just as I post a positive story, I find this one. But it is worth reading. For those who don't read Slacktivist, you should. Fred Clark has a cautionary tale on Rwanda. Some people in the comments have some more interesting things to say. Anyway, read it.

"The church leader is said to have responded, 'Your problem has already found a solution. You must die.'

Ntakirumana did talk with the mayor, and with his son, a doctor at the hospital. They worked together to coordinate the attack that slaughtered the seven pastors, their families, and nearly everyone else in the mission at Mugonero.

Elsewhere in Rwanda the victims were huddled in churches. Some were in Catholic churches, some in Protestant churches, but all in Christian churches because, you see, Rwanda is a Christian nation."
