Source? This just sounds like utter BS to me considering "Christians" are not a race.
Also, you are the author of this thread, and yet you speak like you know the answer to your own question, so what is the purpose of your thread?

I know the answer to many questions
"what proof do you have that GOD exists non you live on false pretense and pray to an imaginary being but know this"
•As soon as Christianity became legal in the Roman Empire by imperial edict (315), more and more pagan temples were destroyed by Christian mob. Pagan priests were killed.
•Between 315 and 6th century thousands of pagan believers were slain.
•Examples of destroyed Temples: the Sanctuary of Aesculap in Aegaea, the Temple of Aphrodite in Golgatha, Aphaka in Lebanon, the Heliopolis.
•Christian priests such as Mark of Arethusa or Cyrill of Heliopolis were famous as "temple destroyer." [DA468]
•Pagan services became punishable by death in 356. [DA468]
•Christian Emperor Theodosius (408-450) even had children executed, because they had been playing with remains of pagan statues. [DA469]
According to Christian chroniclers he "followed meticulously all Christian teachings..."
•In 6th century pagans were declared void of all rights.
•In the early fourth century the philosopher Sopatros was executed on demand of Christian authorities. [DA466]
•The world famous female philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria was torn to pieces with glass fragments by a hysterical Christian mob led by a Christian minister named Peter, in a church, in 415.
[DO19-25]
•Emperor Karl (Charlemagne) in 782 had 4500 Saxons, unwilling to convert to Christianity, beheaded. [DO30]
•Peasants of Steding (Germany) unwilling to pay suffocating church taxes: between 5,000 and 11,000 men, women and children slain 5/27/1234 near Altenesch/Germany. [WW223]
•15th century Poland: 1019 churches and 17987 villages plundered by Knights of the Order. Number of victims unknown. [DO30]
•16th and 17th century Ireland. English troops "pacified and civilized" Ireland, where only Gaelic "wild Irish", "unreasonable beasts lived without any knowledge of God or good manners, in common of their goods, cattle, women, children and every other thing." One of the more successful soldiers, a certain Humphrey Gilbert, half-brother of Sir Walter Raleigh, ordered that "the heddes of all those (of what sort soever thei were) which were killed in the daie, should be cutte off from their bodies... and should bee laied on the ground by eche side of the waie", which effort to civilize the Irish indeed caused "greate terrour to the people when thei sawe the heddes of their dedde fathers, brothers, children, kinsfolke, and freinds on the grounde".
Tens of thousands of Gaelic Irish fell victim to the carnage. [SH99, 225
•Until January 1098 a total of 40 capital cities and 200 castles conquered (number of slain unknown) [WW30]
•After 6/3/98 Antiochia (then Turkish) conquered, between 10,000 and 60,000 slain. 6/28/98 100,000 Turks (incl. women and children) killed.
[WW32-35]
•Marra (Maraat an-numan) 12/11/98 thousands killed. Because of the subsequent famine "the already stinking corpses of the enemies were eaten by the Christians" said chronicler Albert Aquensis. [WW36]
•Battle of Askalon, 8/12/1099. Thousands of heathens slaughtered "in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ". [WW45]
•Fourth crusade: 4/12/1204 Constantinople sacked, number of victims unknown, numerous thousands, many of them Christian. [WW141-148]

There are lots of things unexplainable yet we can see the results, like electricity. What proof do yo have there is electricity? What's that you say you can turn on a switch and see the light bulb come on very bright and there is proof of electricity... Nope prove it was electricity that made the light light up? Show me the electricity? You can't. What holds the planets in thier orbits and how does the sun power them etc. What power and energy animates our bodies and gives us intelligence and self consciousness? The universe is full of the results of intelligent design far beyond our current comprehension. Now just because I said this doe not mean I believe in the Modern traditional Ideal of the Christian God, I don't. I am just making a point to keep an open mind. There are those of our same species that are further along the path then us and would be considered higher beings then us and they do help us from time to time from the other-side so to speak and from this side sometimes. Just because one has personally not experienced something or science cannot explain something does not mean there is nothing to it.

What is the purpose of life? The purpose is so simple that most people don’t want it. The purpose is to prove to ourselves what we are, what we are made of. After doing so, that will determine where we go once we are off of this planet. Humans are here to determine where we go after the moment of death, which is related to how much more information and truths we become aware of, or not.
