>Throughout the history of mankind, there have been more wars, murders, bigotry, hatred and countless atrocities committed in the name of religion than any other cause. When anyone comes to believe that their cause is rightious and the object of their hatred is deemed evil or requiring conversion to the "right way", it is all too easy to ignore the rules and beliefs that should be the foundation of their faith. It is a sad commentary on mankind IMHO.

You're right Elmer. I agree with you exactly.
