Alex, you're right about that (unfortunately, I'd say )
Too many religious people and organizations do that now... and it's not just a Christian thing either, but also Buddhist, Hindu, Muslum, etc. There are sects of ALL religions that have forgotten what the original message was... Oh well. There's still those who are sincere.

Peter,
that's a wonderful premise, but unfortunately hate seems to be a universal truth of humanity as well.
Hopefully, people will continue to strive to find what is right, and not get complacent in the "there is no right or wrong" fallacy. That's when the trouble starts. Unfortunately, what is "right" IS very hard to see sometimes, and biases and perceptions get into the way, making it seem like it's not there. To me, education, awareness, culture, and the ability to make sharp judgments guided by objectivity and compassion is key.

Hope I'm "right" LOL

Ryu
