>Doesn't the Bible teach to love your enemies and to spread the word of Christ to ends of the earth?
No matter what the Bible teaches - or any other Holy Scripture, for that matter - there will always be people who will abuse it to further their own agendas.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
