Exd 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Isn't that what Bush said? That's what I heard. There is one God and every monotheist religion prays to the same one.

Now, if one group wants to think that their God orders them to kill others, that has nothing to do with religion or God. It is what man does to the concept of God.

Both the Koran and the Bible talk about infidels and can be interpreted to condemn non-believers. It is how man implements those passages that matters. Most Christian faiths have abandoned violence (even though almost all used it in the past). Islam is just stuck in our Dark Ages because nobody gave them a bloody-enough nose in face of their violence.

Hence my point. Throughout the years, every major religion has had men who bastardized what that religion really stands for and used it for personal gain, power, etc.

All major monotheist religions have far more in common with each other than anyone wants to admit (because THE OTHER GUYS are evil).

No, that’s not what he said, but you knew that.
