From: D from BC on 29 Mar 2010 23:45 Are you saying that death by Spanish Inquisition, Crusades and witch hunts were ok because there's so much more death throughout history? Do you realize the reasoning you're using can be used to tone down any atrocity.

Maybe you're a sociopath and don't feel Faith, according to websters is a firm belief in something for which there's no proof. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/faith Why would an intelligent person want to believe in something for which there's no proof? Point 2... Are you using the word faith correctly? You wrote to the effect that it takes faith for empathy, honesty, senses of fairness, love, and desire to help others.. What do you mean it takes faith in those things? -- D from BC British Columbia

I'm not familiar with the Muslims.. Is that the peaceful religion where killing in the name of God is rewarded by God?
