Extreme Christians had the crusades, extreme muslims have jihads... I'm sure the other big contenders have their own flavor of killing.
And Spacehoggy, i agree for the most part. As a kid, I was forced to go to church (i see this causes many people's aversion to religion also) so I have some experience with the bible. And yes, I see how some parts of the bible are not what I would use to raise children off of; however, I wouldn't exactly call it a book of filth. But yes it is sad that people can figure it out on their own the difference between right and wrong.
But isn't this why religion was 'created' in the first place? People needed answers to questions that no one could. So what happened? They created a deity, something that would answer their questions. The only thing that has ever really amazed me about religion, is the power of the human imagination. The ability to reason this out in your head. I have always thought that maybe I was stupid cause I couldn't understand how someone could believe that there is some...man, spirit, thing...looking down on us like a kid with a magnifying glass looking down on ants. I don't know, I guess we will find out who is right and who is wrong when we die, right?
