[QUOTE="Halbhh, post: 76311144, member: 375234"] Ah, you mean this one: [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiping_Rebellion[/URL] [I]"The uprising was commanded by [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Xiuquan']Hong Xiuquan[/URL], an ethnic [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakka_people']Hakka[/URL] (a Han subgroup) and the self-proclaimed brother of [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_Christ']Jesus Christ[/URL]."[/I] Ok, it makes sense you could think that might be blamable on Christianity.... Without knowing a lot more about Christianity, which [I][B]instructs us to submit to governing authorities[/B][/I].... Without more detail about what is Christianity, how would a person distinguish whether Hong Xiuguan was just really making up his own new religion? It might seem like maybe that 'Christianity' stuff was the culprit behind his rebellion and violence, until you learned more about Christianity. [/QUOTE]
