I understand what you are saying, but in the case of Christanity, there were times when Jesus said that anger was justified and that war was necessary.
I don't have verses at hand, but I can find them.

The Buddhists in Tibet had prisons, an > army, munitions, etc. Couldn't we say there is a difference between the religion and how the religion is practiced? For example, wouldn't a Christian be anti-war because of Jesus' command to turn the other cheek? Or the commandment that says thou shalt not kill (although I guess you could have a war w/o killing people). Anyway, the point is, we could say religion Foo is anti-war, but that the followers do not live up to the standards set forth by their own teachings. -rc ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
