>Care to elaborate how you made that connection? Yeah, the people who called for and dropped the bombs on Japanese civilians were Christians and thus, in theory, guided by Christian faith. Yet there are plenty of Christians who would say that their religion would tell them to do otherwise. Islamic terrorists are guided in their actions a bit more openly by their Islamic faith, but yet, there are many, if not most, Muslims who would say that their Muslim faith doesn't prescribe those sorts of actions. Anyway, my point is not that Christianity caused the deaths in Japan or that Islam caused, say, the deaths on 9/11, but that Christians and Muslims did those things. People do bad things all the time, but they're not representative of all members of their faiths. -Z
