Thanks in advance.
P.S. Please be aware that I might be tempted to argue that Dr. King was also largely influenced by Gandhi, who was in turn influenced by Jainism, which coincidentally, does not hold that jesus christ is our savior as a tenet.

Well, the question is: Is it ok to judge an entire group of people based on the actions of a few belonging to that group?
I had a debate with someone the day of this thread, and their only argument against Christianity was "Hitler was a christian! That should be evident there that religion drives people nuts and makes them do horrible things!" and "Christians have NEVER done anything for society!"
So I just felt the urge to point out this huge fallacy.
