"... all religions have blood ..."

Ok, I think even Bambi scratched himself once. However, you need perspective and historical context.

Don't cave into simplistic thinking. I am very much aware of Christain and Jewish bloodletting. I am also aware of its microscopic stance compared to Islam whose every single stance and thrust has been lie, betrayal, and bloodletting. The past decade alone lists an enormous amount of atrocities.

In the context, Christains have delivered enormous amounts of time, effort, risk to self, and the all important buck. I know, you have no clue at all of what Christains do in this world. It's not titilating enough and doesn't sell newspapers. Consequently a massively biased press doesn't bother with reporting it. Actually, they are absolutely unaware. Consequently the public is "unaware".

The once popular and ignorant refrain of all religions being responsiblr for bloodletting is getting a little old. It only lets me know how uninformed you are. It's ok, God wants it that way. He only wants those who are drawn to his agenda so, he allows ignorance to prevail.
