I own 2 bibles (Catholic & King James), The Book of Mormon, The Bhagavad Gita, The Tao Te Ching and The Witches’ Bible. I have books on Buddhism, Zen and Wicca. I’ve read some about Native American beliefs. So far, I cannot find in any of these books where it tells people to kill another person because they do not believe the same things. I don’t have The Koran or Torah, but I doubt they say this either.

 Someone needs to explain how the hell this mob-mentality came about that has devout believers (who are so proud of what they do that they cover themselves up so they can’t be identified) thinking they have the right to force ridiculous rules of conduct on their women-folk and kill anyone that doesn't believe in the same invisible man in the sky that they do, or isn’t the same as they are. This is the Third Reich on steroids.

Yes, The Crusades were awful. Yes, Slavery was awful. The Inquisition was awful. What we did to the Native Americans was awful. The Holocaust was awful. Pearl Harbor was awful. McCarthyism was awful. The attacks on New York & Washington were awful. But folks, get over it. You can’t change the past. Only by education and practicing what we preach can we ever hope to break free of mob-mentality.

People from all religions will say that theirs is a just and merciful God. Murder is neither just nor merciful. These asshole fundamentalists cherry-pick things from their religious texts to make their religion fit their beliefs, instead of the other way around.
