Jesus and Jihad By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF Published: July 17, 2004 If the latest in the "Left Behind" series of evangelical thrillers is to be believed, Jesus will return to Earth, gather non-Christians to his left and toss them into everlasting fire: Its disgusting what the Jerry Falwells and Tom Delays have done to Christianity; and they don't have clue as to how much they sound like an OBL. ted

JF, one thing is for certain. None of the major religions of the world, with perhaps the exception of Buddhism and Confucianism, are very "politically correct" in its core tenets. But "Jesus and Jihad" misses the point by a country mile. The whole point of Christianity is not ethnic cleansing, nor the justification of any evil acts such as slavery or violent conversion of non-Christians. The point is realizing that man can never be good on his own, that he needs a savior. Which to a secularist, I imagine, is the most un-PC thing you can tell him. Tenchusatsu
