The Bible and Torah don't have world conquest as their basis and don't advocate mass murder of unbelievers. But perhaps you are right. In my time I have experienced unwanted assault [threat of it] on so-called "Christian" principles - heck the NZ State still attacks people who dare to sell [unapproved] stuff during Easter. Prayers are still compulsory in government service [parliament for example]. Burnings at the stake and heresy trials along with Inquisitions are unpleasant historical aspects of Christianity. They are not the norm these days. I have no idea what said Torah says. No doubt it has stone age atavistic aspects too and needs editing. But these days, it's Koranic carnage which is the problem. Christians pretty much ignore even infallible Papal encyclicals. Check out the Italian birth rate for example. They certainly don't adhere to the papyrus details. Mqurice
