      We will have to agree to differ there. I can see how even Islamic fundamentalists believe that they are following Islam (they may be the only true followers). I can not see how the majority of claimed Christians are following the teachings of Christ.
      I am not qualified to give the above advice!

            The secular culture, yes. The established/state churches in the UK, yes. The churches in the USA which seem more focused on hate than love, yes.

            But there are still some reasonably biblically sound churches and families of churches. Of course, they get labelled as cults for encouraging tithing, and as bigoted for promoting marriage and saying men and women are different...

              Only an Idiot would fail to see that terrorism is behind the crises.

              Only problem being - they are the Enemy within - and they are not haging out in caves.

              The Men of Unlimited Greed from Wall St and the City who are set to walk off with a massive State Bailout to fund their lavish lifestyles - Im sure they are all very obliged men.

                religion: it's all about peepees at the end of the day isn't it? who's got which sort and what they're doing with it. it's a fixation.

                      I think it was relevant as the Pope now seems to be aligning himself with what Islam has always said.
