You wrote:<font color=blue>"Christian schools teach that everyone who doesn't accept THEIR brand of Jesus is going straight to hell."<font color=black> The difference is that American Christians don't commit acts of violence against the other religions, and American Christians have done a lot of good around the world. Christian charities have helped millions of people of all races and religions. Although American Christians feel that the only way to Heaven is through Christ, they don't teach hatred towards those that don't believe in Christ. Muslims/Arabs openly teach hatred and promote violence towards Christians and Jews, including Muslim/Arab schools and mosques in America. Big difference!

Kevin, In the 20th Century, more people were killed in the name of Government than in the name of God. Should we outlaw government? re:"I say we outlaw religion. Too much violence and killing is done in the name of someone's god." Kind of sweeping with the generalizations, aren't you? re: "Christian schools teach that everyone who doesn't accept THEIR brand of Jesus is going straight to hell. Mel Gibson believes his Protestant wife is going to hell. Catholics think that Protestants are going to hell. Evangelical Christians believe that Catholics and Protestants are going to hell. Jewish schools teach that all Arabs are out to kill them, and that Baruch Goldstein was a hero. Everyone believes THEIR religion is the 'one and only' and that everyone else is going to hell."
