Description
Uncomfortable facts about Christianity: appalling history, doubtful origins, unreliable authorities, flawed philosophy, deceptions and forgeries.

Examples:

Cildren's rights: In the past the Christian Church condoned all manner of evil done to children. It tried and executed them for witchcraft and for other offences. It saw nothing wrong in beating them frequently and severely for minor wrongdoing — even for other people's wrongdoing. It terrified them with stories of Hell. It allowed them to contract arranged marriages. It failed to speak out against child labour because it saw nothing at all wrong in the practice. For many centuries the Church opposed the education of poor children, except in the few cases where boys could be drawn into its own service. Girls were denied education altogether. In punishing children for sins they had not committed, there seems to have been almost no concept of fairness or rights. Thus, the Church made much of the concept of bastardy.

Rape: If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife ...
Deuteronomy 22:28-9

This biblical passage clearly countenanced the rape of virgins, and Christians were generally prepared to follow God's guidance on the matter. If a Christian man wanted to marry an unwilling nubile woman one of the best ways to do it was to rape her and pay up. [badnewsaboutchristianity.com]
