What I don't understand (I do really) is why be deadly about it? Christians do not agree on the Bible, there are the differing factions but we don't kill others over it.

I'm still amazed that they would have wars over such things. Very radical.

Oh, it does, it does! I just wrote a short summary for my paper brain that I carry with me all the time.....this has made everything you've ever talked about SO much simpler for me, if no one else. Now I know that if I get confused about who's on' first in the future I can whip this out and bring my focus back....plus, I can add any other simplified tidbits you might throw out to this stripped down list. Maybe, eventually, I'll grow more comfortable with the titles, etc., and be able to keep it all straight w/o my reference guide as I read the articles you bring us, but in the meantime, this will also help in my efforts to educate my friends and family as well.

You have done a fine job making the simple distinctions between the two. Often, people use them interchangeably.
That was also bin Laden's problem with the House of Saud as I recall.
