Heh Cappie, You ever read the Old Testamant? I'm mean beyond the prohibition of same sex humpin'. Full of people killing children, wiping out entire populations ( because the Lord said so), stoning people for, lemme see, workin' on the Sabbath, homosexuality,adultry, I'm sure I'm leaving out tons of stuff. Angel of the Lord killing the first born, had to be some newborns in that mess, on and on. There's even an example of human sacrifice. If one is to read the OT in a literal sense as the commandments of a Righteous God, many actions today would be considered terrorism. I haven't read the Koran so personally I can't comment, and I can't stand it when someone uses the cafeteria on one or two quotes from the Bible or any other source for that matter, so I won't do that with some passage from the Koran.

Of course before someone accuses me, I'm not defending any form of terrorism or any belief, rather I am pointing out that reading ancient text and following those texts without applying reason and common sense will lead many down a path of horrific behavior.

I agree. The OT portrays a god full of rage with serious anger management issues. And it's nice to see how quick people forget that only a few hundred years back Christians used the sword to convert people. Yes, I know that Christianity has changed but to me that's still no excuse to constantly belittle other people's faith. And please, I'm not making a generalisation here. In my opinion the majority of people, both Islam and Christianity, are peaceful people who just want to life their lives and take care of their families. And on both sides there are people full of hate against everyone who dares to believe different.
