Thank you for the clarification. Prescribed was too precise a word. However, the fruits of the Christian bible, the acts inspired by belief in it, have killed, maimed, and enslaved millions of people through the ages. I would venture to speculate far more than Islam or Judaism. The blood of Christ has spilled over and stained most of the earth.
