you argue will ever change his bigoted mind.


Come on, Tom.  I have a lot of faults, but I wouldn't say "pride" is one of
them.

In person, no.  But the bigotry you continuously spout in here shows Pride in yourself and
your chosen religion.


In practice I am a pretty tolerant person,

In person, you are.  But some of the things you say in here border on insanity sometimes.

and in theory it shouldn't
matter what I believe.

In THEORY, maybe not.  But if you ever have any position of power and start pushing your
agenda, what you believe will be highly relevant.  Contrary to your protestations from
time to time in here, I really don't think you could keep from pushing your insanity on
others - insanity just tends to do that, whether it realizes it or not.


As far as Christianity breeding violence and death, I don't see it.  People
aren't perfect, and to expect Christians to act perfectly is a little over the
top.  And the "Christians" who persist to act in evil ways are rebuked by other
Christians.

Up until WW2, I'd say Xtians were pretty much top dog in violence and death throughout
their short history.  Since you seem to be willing to bury your head about most of the
Bible, I am not surprised that you can bury your head about Xtian history outside of the
Bible.
