Isn't that interesting?

No more interesting than the thugs and sadists who use religious texts as an excuse to oppress, rob, torture, rape, and kill others.
For a religious proponent, the Reverend Spong on the "Terrible Texts of the Bible" covers this aspect very well.
Holland can't be held responsible for the choices other people make.
To what extent have the Christian and Islamic "Book Religions" been fabricated by the warlords who implemented them in antiquity in order to maintain large geographical expanses of conquered territory by means of a centralised monotheistic state cult?
