Brent, far be it from me to defend the RC, but its also a matter of how far
back you wish to go in history, or even care to look? Look at Syria, look at
Nigeria, look at Iraq, look at Afghanistan. You know what's going on there and
you know why. It's not animists, or Zen Buddhists, who are doing the nasty
today. Maybe they will change in 25 years and maybe things will get worse ithis
area. As for birth control, yes we need more. If you look to the 20th century,
you will note that the 70 million dead from the biggest Atheists on the planet,
so much so that they had put in on their party doctrine, back in the 19th
century. Yeah, not all Atheists are Marxists, but almost all Marxists are
atheists, and they were easy, on the Sovs, the Chinese, North Kor, and
Kampuchea, during their "class purging." Not a bad case of 'catch up' to the
RC, I'd say! And why zing the RC when the fire burns all over the world from
another source?
Well there are those who murder abortion doctors. But "lucrative criminal
acts" includes a lot more than murderous martydom. The Catholic Church has
probably condemned more children to starvation by outlawing contraception
than the Islamist ever will.

so let's focus where the problem is. Look at Nigeria, Sudan, Syria,a and
Iraq, and draw together the facts. If it was Buddhists setting
off bombs in subways' one could concede your point. Also, I am not a
Jesus person, and don't hate em. If ya want to beat up JC why not this
quote, "I come not to bring peace but with a sword." And the Christians
surely did, right into the 20th century, but no longer.
This is naive. Bandits do lucrative criminal acts to get money
which can purchase goods, luxury, women, power. So why do
suppose that no one uses religion to get goods, luxury, women,
power,..? You just want to excuse religion and blame it all on
some "criminal acts". What is a crime is often defined by
religion and it often includes questioning the priesthood and the
official dogma. So the problem is not just "radical Islam"; it is
any Islam, and any religion, which has a dogma and requires belief
in that dogma to avoid sanctions and punishment in this life or
a putative afterlife...that is to say 90% of all religions.
