"Harm in the name of jesus is not deviancy as far as practitioners of the cult of Christ are concerned"
From my knowledge of this, the message of Christ was not one of harm but one of peace, and those that harm in the name of Jesus would be guilty of blasphemy.
But I'm not about to jump fully into the Christian corner as i do not consider it to be a perfect religion either. As a doctrine, I believe it has produced more good than harm in our world overall, but it has definately fallen short of ridding the world of wars, injustice and inequality, if that is what it was hoping to achieve. I would definately not say that it causes more of these conditions, as you are claiming insistently. But i would admit that it is easily corruptable and manipulated in the hands of wicked-minded and foolhardy individuals, which can give it the apparency of being a "bad" religion.
As for God, well i opine that He would probably view the religious institutions of man as "much of a muchness".
