I can find many sources that contradict this claim.

George, I challenge you to provide one reliable audited source that agrees
with you.

Furthermore, given reports of explosive growth of Christianity in China and
Africa, it appears that you have cherry picked your statistics to make a
false point.
OK, so Christianity's still a growing problem. Pity. Next?
It is a pity that the people who broke slavery in UK are a shrinking group?
It is a pit that the people who fought for equal rights for women and
minorities are a shrinking group? It is a pity that the people who brought
us abused women's shelters and aids hospices and hospitals and public
school are a shrinking group? What kind of sicko are you?

In your bible you will find instructions from God on how to take and
keep slaves, how much you must pay their previous owners and how you
should mark their ears to identify them.

In your bible you will find instructions from God telling you that you
must prevent your wife or daughter from voicing any opinions, and must
behave in a totally servile manner.

In your bible you will find instructions from God telling you that if
your daughter is rude to you, you must stone her to death.

In your bible you will find instructions from God telling you that if
you marry, but suspect that your wife is not a virgin, you must stone
her to death.

In your bible you will find instructions from God to Jephthah that he
must kill his own daughter in payment for a favour during an ethnic
cleansing operation, which was also commanded by God.

In your bible you find instructions from God to slaughter an entire
population, taking care to run a sword through the stomachs of all the
women in case they are pregnant. But - and here's the good bit - you
must keep all the pretty young virgins alive for your soldiers use.

Never, ever try to claim that religion is a source of ethics. It is
not. It is the most stinking shit that a perverted man ever invented.
Clear enough?

You ever figure out that cultural context thing?

Not enough time to discuss it now, but it truly is worth discussing.

Just look up the behavior of the surrounding nations of the time...

You're going to have to help me out here. Give me a context in which
slaughtering babies and raping little girls is OK, cos I don't see it.
But then I'm not a Christian or a Jew of course.

Here's a saying to chew on. In general, good people will do good
things, and bad people will do bad things, but to make a good person
behave wickedly - that takes religion.
