Religion has caused war, but don't get Christianity mixed up in that. Read the Bible. The Romans, and others used Christianity for many purposes, few of them helping people.[/quote:e7fd7]

Christianity is a religion, in fact the second most popular religion on the planet.

I have read the bible.

Did you know that Vlad the Impailer was enforcing Gods will in the mid 1400's? A man heavilly devoted to god and would later be named a saint by the people of his homeland of Romainia.

You may not know who Vlad is so here is a bit about the guy:

[quote:e7fd7]Vladislav Basarab was born in the town of Sighisoara, in the Tîrnava Mare valley, Transylvania, in 1431, the son of a Wallachian prince hungering for the throne, currently stationed as governor of this border town. He was trained in etiquette and command, exposed to the elements on stormy days to build his physical and moral character, taught to be a warrior. There were puppet theatres and acrobats, ball-games and quadrilateral swings of red cloth, the hunting of eagles with slingshots, and there was always his curiosity in watching the condemned walk under his window to the Jewellers' Donjon to be hanged. His father was nicknamed Vlad Dracul, and thus he inherited the title Dracula, Son of the Dragon, but during his life he earned his own title -- Vlad Tepes, Vlad the Impaler. [/quote:e7fd7]

Vlad developed many nicknames, most notably "Dracula", but also "the Impailer." The impailer comes from his method of delivering gods will to the infidels whom saught to take his country.

He would impail his captured enemies army with tall stakes. The wooden stakes would be inserted into a victoms leg, ass, or abdomen and pushed through the body until it came out the top. This stake was then erected along the roadsides to warn enemy armies of thier possible fate. It often took several days to die.

My only point being that the number of people tortured and killed by indivduals seeking to perform "Gods Will" is great, despite which branch of Christ faith it may fall under.
