Most people are just on their own path to truth. I was once a closed minded fearful, and yes judgmental "Christian". I left organized religion and have come to forgive me and them and realize they are on the path they are on. I now know, that there are many things I do not know. But what I do know is that Peace starts at home, and in your community.

Re:
One would hope so. I think Americans love their right to bear arms and their screw you attitude towards anyone that has a different opinion. "Hand guns figured in the Virginia Tech massacre, Binghamton shootings, 2009 Fort Hood shooting, Oikos University shooting, and 2011 Tucson shooting. The Aurora theater shooting and theColumbine High School massacre were committed by assailants armed with multiple weapons." Wikipedia
We have more deaths of Americans killing other Americans than by other nationalities other than on the battlefield.
Let's not forget the Timothy McVeighs or cult leaders who also kill their own cult members. It's easy to point the finger at foreigners but in reality Americans with their right to bear arms are their own worse enemy.

Re:
I can't think of one church that I agree with every one of their tenements. Perhaps that's why I prefer to call myself spiritual rather than Catholic or any other religion.

I don't believe that I sit around judging...I just want the madness to stop. There are some parts of The Islamic Faith that I cannot accept...child brides, burning and stoning of women and the general dehumanizing of women.
There are aspects of so called Christian Churches that i cannot accept. The patriarchal aspects, the teaching of believe what I believe or go to hell.
getting off my soap box now.
