>Doesn't the Bible teach to love your enemies and to spread the word of Christ to ends of the earth?

Some parts do. Other passages do the exact opposite. In fact, all-in-all it is one of the most violent books there are.

>Jim, either you're much more preceptive then me or you're reading way too much into their message. ;-)

Unfotunately Jim is correct. The ultimate goal of Christianity (from a fundamentalist point of view) is exactly as Jim said. That what is expected at "Rapture" time (Apocalypse et al).

Not to say that fundametalist Muslims or others don't have a similar agenda.
