...are you trying to tell me that no one who believes in god has ever shot someone or stolen their money or married their daughter? Do you know any history? How do you suppose Christianity was "spread"? How many Chaplains in the American military have sent young men and women to murder innocent Iraqis, Vietnamese and Koreans, to name a few? Don't they pray over them and ask God to bless them....what do you imagine that is all about?

...the Golden Rule trumps god by a mile...if I believe my god is the right one then I will believe what his priests say, and they have all said "go and kill for god and country"....the Golden Rule asks me to ask myself if I would want someone to kill me, for any reason.....when I answer "no", I know I must not kill others.....but if I listen to god and his henchmen, and do as they say...then I have just placed a bullseye on my and my children's backs, because the next guy will get those murderous orders from HIS god...whereas if he had no business with gods either, and went by the same Golden Rule, he would know enough not to kill, if anything can stop him.
