What you are doing is using this incident to justify your decision, and laying the blame on a "Christians".

I know, how about this: Since Stalin and Mao were atheists, and together killed about 100 million people, you want to be a murderer too. After all, you're an atheist right?

Oh, so the act of a single christian should result in the judgment of every christian everywhere, but atheists are all "individuals"? Do you enjoy your hypocrisy?
Yes, please do. Add up the number ALL THE PEOPLE EVER KILLED IN THE NAME OF CHRIST! List them here (not the individuals, but the aggregate numbers). I will start replying when you get past 100,000,000.
I think I'll be waiting a while.
