Probably par for the course all over the world in those days. Life was short and often brutish, laws were strict and even minor transgressions punished severely.

Believe in the wrong god in the wrong place and . . .

Consider how many of those things were actually due to Jewish or Roman values rather than Christian. True, it makes those who accept it culpable, or blindly stupid . . . Or both.

Get out of that situation asap mate.

I'm still waiting for the poster to give more information about his alleged incarceration in a "Christian hospital". 

How many of you have been terrorized by a Christian?

Also, Old Testament examples cited are not "Christian".  Those are Jewish.

I'm a Christian.  Have I terrorized anyone? 

On the other hand, Magdalena turned me into a newt.

As far as I can tell, the only thing terrorists have in common, is being terrorists.

I think that the broad answer to the broad question in the title of this thread is "no." There are Christian terrorists, but that doesn't mean that Christianity is terrorism, per se. No more than Islam is terrorism. There are elements of both religions that can be viewed as promoting terrorism (perhaps more so in Islam), but neither of them is necessarily defined by those elements.

I was once terrorized by a goose named Christian, but in all fairness he would have probably also terrorized me if his name was Floyd.

I was also going to address the newt issue, but Mags beat me to it.
