[QUOTE=Mnemosyne;22885]Every religion I've ever learned about teaches of love and harmony. I've never seen one that teaches violence.QUOTE]
You kiddin'???? God's law, as outlined in the christian bible, says you must kill your child if he talks back. You must stone a woman who commits adultery. I'm talking the law part, not the parables, which would not leave it open to interpretation. And how about the muslim directive to convert or kill? and to murder apostates? (this one was recently almost carried out in Afghanistan, remember?) I'm glad people ignore some of the crazier poop, but let's not kid ourselves: religion is a nasty business.
