Every religion is violent. Look at history and see if you can find a major religion that has not used the sword to expedite conversion.

In the last 300 years? Only one.

Ask a 100 people at random to name the one and you're likely to get 97 correct answers: ISLAM.

Comparing Neanderthals with civilized man is a bit disingenuous.

Even in our oun country within the past 150 years many indigenous Americans got to experience the ignominy of forced conversion to Christianianity.

Go read the Mormon history if you want to see more about how peaceful Christianity is.

And then there is the labeling of people as witches and subsequent burning in Mass.

Read the history of the Lewis and Clark expedition sponsored by Thomas Jefferson. They did some rather nasty things to some of the NorthWest hethans.

Read the crap on this web site about Harry Potter and tell me there are not people today who would not put "heathens" in jail or worse.

Your attempt to catagorize anything done with force in the name of Christianity as done by "Neanderthals" is just spin. It is also a lie.

I guess you would consider the founding fathers Neanderthals.
