Your media-fed ignorance is showing, B.B. Read the book I cited above and you will discover that other religions preach and practice true compassion as much as Christianity which has its own sordid history of barbarism in the name of Christ. Check out the movie and/or book "At Play in the Fields of the Lord" or "Black Robe" and you may begin to question who is saving and forgiving whom. Or read some history and theology, other than that which your minister or priest has passed his blessing upon and you may get a truer sense of what is real and what is an illusion created by spin doctors.
