    The Holy Writ is an amalgam. But that also makes it interesting.

    I should read it when I get the time.

    There is wonder. But it's important to wonder at error, accident, flaw.

    Lest we should just erect etheral idolized father figures in the smoky shadow of Plato's cave.

    Well one can argue about the cause of many from hunger in the soviet union. Clearly Holdomor was largely intentional and this killed 2-3 million Ukranians.

    And that 200 million I gave was from two of the biggest acts of religious genocides. (Conquest of the Americas by Europeans, Conquest of India by Mughals) Theres ten million from the Cursades I could throw in. 20 Million from Taiping wars.

    And these are all wars where religions are named by the aggresor as the Principal reason, unlike your totals which happen to be all politicies and natural/manmade famines.

    If we're counting all the deaths which are politicide and natural/manmade famines by all Colonialists and all the Islamic wars...

    Which is why Christianity and Islam are the two most prominent world relgions. War. Those religions are practiced today because they were spread by a thousand year killing spree on both sides.

    But still a irrelevant question when looking at religious tolerance, which you've said was your point, but haven't discussed it much sense. It looks silly even debating anymore.

    Neither side is more right or wrong because more deahs have occured at one sides hands.

    Maybe I'm wrong and there is a god. I bet he'd find this debate asinine.
