Apologetics 5: Doesn't Religion Cause Violence?
In this episode, CVC elder Kyle Gustafson addresses the challenging question, "Doesn't religion cause violence?" Drawing from Chapter 5 of Rebecca McLaughlin's Confronting Christianity, Kyle explores the historical and cultural complexities surrounding this accusation. He provides a thoughtful analysis of Christianity’s teachings on peace, justice, and reconciliation, contrasting them with instances where religion has been misused to justify violence. This episode offers clarity and hope for those seeking to understand how true faith in Jesus promotes peace rather than conflict. Session Handout (PDF)
