Why do people point to historical examples of communism and say that "Clearly, communism is great in theory, but doesn't work in reality"? But those same people are able to look at tons of examples of Christians doing extremely evil things: i.e. crusades, witch burnings, conquistadors, pogroms, KKK, Holocaust (Hitler was Christian not atheist), slavery, and they say that "people are imperfect, and those people are not 'true' Christians, thus they do not affect the validity or value of Christ's teachings." In the end, the implementations of communism thus far do not truly reflect the genius of Karl Marx, therefore, how can you say history proves anything about communism's validity? Why don't people give communism the same benefit of the doubt as they give Christianity?

Am I on to something? Tell me what you think, and help me understand why there's a double standard where it seems like nothing can tarnish Christianity's reputation.
 
People cannot be in positions of power. It goes to their heads, and people die. It's as simple as that.
