I’ll never understand executing people or going to war because of faith.

I’ll never understand the reason to put people to death in the most gruesome fashion. Why Crucifixion? Just kill the person, like the end of Braveheart where Mel Gibson had to be ‘purified by pain’ before they cut off his head. I’d say there’s some pretty sadistic folks running around

Do some research on the history of Munster and maybe you'll change your mind about that. A sect of Anabaptists took over the town government, expelled all of the non-believers, established communism and polygamy, and killed anyone who dissented - including unwilling wives, anyone caught using money, anyone who locked their door, etc. It sort of pre-figured Cambodia by 400 years. It took 18 months for the local ruler to dislodge them during which time tens of thousands of people died. The bodies of the Anabaptists leaders were hung from cages affixed to the church steeple. Those cages are still there today and are a tourist attraction.

We went to war after 9 11 largely because our judeo Christian heritage wouldn’t allow freedom to be torn from us.

another religion wants to dominate us. This is basically a war of faith.

I’ll never understand letting schoolchildren be molested and murdered due to “non-violent” teachings.

I may or may not agree.
