The REAL Napster

From what I have read and studied, religions that promote hatred, violence and genocide are those that consider others not of their religion 'infidels' and fair game to kill. They consider it their 'holy duty'.

Christians made this horrible mistake during the crusades, and as we all know, history is repeating itself with other religions. They didn't learn from the ealier mistakes.

be argued that only one faith teaches the truth; perhaps none do. If there are 
270 major religions in the world, then -- to a first approximation -- the 
chances of any one religion being completely true is miniscule. Yet people 
tenaciously believe in the truth of their faith to the exclusion of all others.</FONT></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/6902F2FF-3FF6-42A3-91C2-9621A862A03C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
