I am no Bible thumper, but I did attend a religious college and was required to take the Old and New Testament courses, which means I had to read the entire bible, and know it well enough to pass exams. (I graduated Magna Cum Laude). Anyhow, my recollection from those many years ago is that the OLD testament can get pretty rough (but, you have to remember that it was written IN THE TIMES). Jesus came along and the thrust of his teachings was basically to love thy neighbor like thyself and to turn the other cheek to thine enemies. Thus, IMHO Christianity is a far more humble and loving religion then say Judiasm and Islam (both similar in that written about the same time I think). We in America are somewhere in the middle as we devised our Constitution and all that followed under Judeo/Christian beliefs. For instance, we do in fact turn the other cheek to our enemies, but if they dont KISS IT, we BEAT THE LIVING TAR OUT OF THEM. (gg) JDN
