It might be more accurate to say that true Christianity has been kidnapped by the Church.
The reputation of Christianity has been tainted by the numerous scoundrels who have used it to hide their crimes. If you want to know what Christ really taught and stood for, read the New Testament. He never shed the blood of another man, taught that people should love and respect one another, and refrain from passing judgement on the soul of anyone else. That statement may be an oversimplification of his teachings, but contain their essence.
If more members of humanity patterned their lives around the teachings of Jesus Christ the world would be a better, more peaceful place. He never preached jihad.
