And who follows it today? Forget thousands of years ago. Don't try and compare this to the Crusades, or the Inquisition. Show me one other "religion" TODAY that has suicide bombers, and uses them? What religion tells kids to go throw rocks at tanks. As I said, these people are nuts. Anyone who TODAY believes in that crap is a direct threat. The only resolve we have is to kill them, simply because that is the very thing they want to do to us. Every single one of us.  Bill T.

I was just responding to your point about the Bible having no such passages. It does. Both were written many, many centuries ago. We have progressed, they haven't.

BillT I disagree...

How can you pull up parts of their holy book as if you have the smoking barrel and then ignore the parts of your own? How can you claim any rightieusness by ignoring a very recent history of atrocities? In the last 250 years your religion has caused more human suffering than I can imagine. The Native American population can attest heavily to Christian tollerance, the Aztecs, the Salam Witch trials remember reading about those?

I tend to believe the only realization is self realization so I'm gonna stop and just agree to disagree, call me a "Pacifist Queer" thats fine, but as I had stated in my first post. I wish the world has as much religious tollorance...

Like I said before, fighting OVER religion seems to be confined to "people of The Book" Every one else in history seems to have fought for Defense, gain, or revenge.
Also, don't go throwing the crusades into that, Religion was only an excuse to grab off part of the richest trade routes in the world.
