Xeno-x, I'm wondering how it is exactly that all of the argument, judgement, condemnation, vitriol, and strife engaged in by proponents of religion will lead to the "peace which passeth all understanding" which the Prince of Peace came to impart. Despite certain episodes where He appeared to display righteous anger, I find it hard to imagine Him condoning these activities as conducive to the love for one another which He came to propagate. Even if JC was angry on occasion, I don't see anywhere in His teachings that He told his followers to do this. At most he told them to depart and dust the sand of that village from their feet. He preached love, acceptance, nonviolence, focusing on correcting one's own faults rather than the faults of another, non-judgment, turning away from anger. Samhain_Moon
