All one has to do is listen to some of the Christian fundimentalists and their parisheners.There is no difference between terrorism, murder or killing in the name of war. One of the most important of Christ's admonishing is 'to turn the other cheek' and it is meaningless to human beings of any faith. Self survival, selfishness, lust and all the other 7 Deadly Sins trumps any religious faith. Ultimately that is the 'religion' of human beings.
