I think Christians were terrorists. They burned cities in the Middle East and killed/raped women and children. They hung so-called "witches" to purge sinners among them. They oppress and kill homosexuals for being who they are.
You know, if you really think about it, were Jesus to come back today he'd be crucified AGAIN. I mean, if a guy came down the street and said "I am the Son of God, drop everything and follow me," how would Christians react?

Muslims: "No it wasn't! And we'll prove it by rioting and killing people!"
Honestly, what were they thinking? They go out for the sole purpose of protesting what he said, and immediately start acting in a manner to support his statement! How dumb can people get?

According to current believe systems, Jesus is supposed to get all the true christians off the planet in a great instantaneous disappearance. I guess he has transporters.
So they won't have to worry about not recognizing hime for what he is. In fact: according to my Grandmother, the quickest way to tell if somebody is a false prophet is if they claim to be the Son of God. Jesus "ain't got the need" to do that, he'll show you, not tell.
Regardless of all that, even many Christians don't think very highly of Falwell. Though powerful, he's viewed as a political leech in many sectors, who, as the old saying goes, is serving too many masters.
I would also like to point out that most Christians are not evil witch burning scum, in the same way that most Muslims are not strapping C-4 to their chests.
Though I'm certainly not a Christian, it's beginning to bother me that every thread I see on the net regarding their religion usually has at least one post that mentions witch burning and rampant abuse of homosexuals or so forth.
As if that's all they ever do/did. Please.

To get all specific on that note, orthodox or mainstream Christian doctrine, of all flavors that I am aware of, holds that Christ's return will be a transcendant event, whose value will be self-evident. (The skies rolled back, as it were.) As chronicled in the weird "Revelation" or the highly entertaining "Apocamon."
