I wish the religious nuts could find a way to settle their differences without involving everyone else. I have nothing against faith, I'm not an atheist, but religion has nothing to do with faith. Religion is like government without any accountability. It's smart people tricking stupid people into thinking that they alone know 'the way'. Like they have some kind of personal relationship with god (or whoever). I've never met god, know virtually nothing about god but I do know that no one else knows any more than I do.

But isn't Jesus the only way in, regardless? It seems that the only hope for peace on earth, these days, is a crusade to find a way to live alongside/with Islam and The Koran. Anything else, is only going to make matters worse. If islam were to make the same claim, they would be ridiculed. And add fuel to the notion of a modern-day religious war.
