Jews, Muslims, Christians, and Hindus, it doesn matter fanatics make me sick because they sell certainty in a world where it doesn't exist. It's arrogant, self-righteous, and so destructive. I understand the need to make sense of our lives and the world we live in but in my experience I have seen there are no absolutes and the only thing that is real is other people. Religious fanatics claim they are doing God's work and believe that their way is the only way and they know better then the rest of us. If someone questions that, they are at least ridiculed as being wrong or at worse; marked for death. These fanatics seem to forget the shared experience in life we all have with one another and as a result they turn into what their God is supposed to be against.
Not the Christians. God and His Son have more than one mood and they are not against killing.
Matthew: 10:33-34 (KJV)
33: But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
34: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Numbers 35:16-18 (KJV)
16: And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
17: And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
18: Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
