God isn't responsible for the evil acts that humans enact upon each other. He is not our "maid" and shouldn't have to clean up after ourselves.

In response to God killing His own son, God allowed men to kill his own son because of his Love towards humans that he was willing to shed the blood of his own son in order for humans to be able to obtain salvation.

For the comment about crusades, sure flagrant hypocrisy does mar what the church stands for, but in essence, should not invalidate the objective truth-claims of christianity. john Montgomery wrote, "If Albert Einstein was arrested for shoplifting, would that make E=mc2 wrong"?

In connection with the third paragraph, there is a general misconception that Christianity is essentially about moral rules. Like in the first sentece, this idea is a misconception.

This does not, however, Christianity is about a set of rules, in which christians mechanically conform to a set of directions. Rather, it is about a set of values which arises from being redeemed."

Light was actually the second thing God created, which was after the heavens and the earth. Life started to appear after the second "day". Ugh, why did I type this out again
