Re: setting the record straight
I would point out that since the time the average christian actually had access to the bible, these instances have gone down. The catholic church banned the bible from anyone other than priests for the longest time.
​
In other words, these actions were always running counter to the tenets of the religion. So what we have is a case of bad people, not bad religion.

This isn't valid from a biblical perspective. In the bible, morality is that which is God's character. It certainly isn't arbitrary anymore than it's arbitrery for a fish to require water to breathe.
