Yeah I know but it was an educational book I read all kinds of stuff it was pretty fun actually reading it after taking a heroic dose of magic mushrooms. When I started seeing pangea reforming from the void and plate tectonics going backwards I was like man I got to chill out a little bit or something.I read "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" as a teenager and loved it, and I am intrigued by some of his art.
And I kind of agree with the book concept, that a balance good and evil is valuable.
But I like to define good and evil with my own criteria, not someone else (religions).
Wow... That is hard core!Yeah I know but it was an educational book I read all kinds of stuff it was pretty fun actually reading it after taking a heroic dose of magic mushrooms.

Its a serious question. They slways seem to be protesting about something and they are the only religious group that commits acts of violence. Im talking modern times of course.

This is all to say that there is indeed a difference between the religion called Christianity versus the religion of Mo-murder-hammered that i call Is-lame.
Everyone here knows i come down hard on Christianity (what i call Christ-I-Aintity), as did Jefferson, but that even i, as did Jefferson, can tell the difference between levels of violence between what that produces and what Mo-murder-hammered would shove down the throats of the whole world by hard steel weapons of force.
I guess you have forgotten about: Lebanese civil war (Christians were just as violent as other religious sects), Irish Catholic versus Protestant civil war, Rwandan civil war (both sides were Christian), American Christian violence against native people's of America and against African Americans, American 20th century treatment of many different countries when we did not agree with their political values, Russian Orthodox Christian treatment of Ukrainians and other ethnic minorities both currently and throughout the 20th century, Serbian Orthodox Christian treatment of Bosnians and Armenians. Israeli genocidal treatment of Palestinians. There are a lot more examples but that is a few. You are being selective in your views; religions don't cause violence by themselves. Humans on religion cause violence. Muslims are no more violent than Christians or Jews or any other religion.
