Dang, Bill, just when I was warming up to dump a mess o' revealed truth on you!! You wuss!

Joe, it wasn't fair, it was just grabbing dustbunnies outta my head from a quick scan. (I borrowed that phrase, I love it.) You are right that it is often the lunatic fringe that discolors the whole group. SOme folks just lose perspective, I guess...one of the things religion is famous for. I dunno, if the research was done, whether there would be any correlation between denominations and records of abuse or violence, and even if there were, I have no idea what it would mean. Every religous war has been completely justified, according to its participants. Gott Mit Uns and all that. I don't think it would lead anywhere.
