This statement demonstrates your lack of real knowledge concerning Christianity.
James 2:19
19 You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. NAS
Professed Christians who don't put feet to their faith by loving and aiding those in need are ignoring the teachings of Christ.
Non-Christians delight in posting all the atrocities committed by governments of Christian dominated countries while ignoring or rationalizing the actions of governments of countries dominated by non-Christians.
Matthew 7:16-23
16 "You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor figs from thistles, are they? 17 "Even so, every good tree bears good fruit; but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 "A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19 "Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 "So then, you will know them by their fruits. 21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. 22 "Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' 23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.' NAS
Have some missionaries overstepped their instructions and authority in an arrogant attempt to spread Christianity? Unfortunately yes. However do you know what Jesus told those He sent out to preach the gospel?
Matthew 10:14-15
14 "And whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet. 15 "Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.
NAS
You can search the Scriptures all day and never find any instructions that command us to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ at the point of a sword.
