    Christian=belief that Christ is the resurrected son of God, and the son of God is god. Jewish moneychangers and Islamic organic smart bombs not only do not believe that, which would be perfectly rational, but actively argue against it and cannot see the crucifix, which is perfectly irrational. On the other side, some very smart NWO architects came up with the notion of the three monotheistic religions as it would save the world from fights, which is perfectly irrational too, history showed fights between factions of the same church usually surpass in violence those between complete strangers.

    The only hope is that the Christians in Sri Lanka FUNDAMENTALLY adhere to their religion, defending themselves instead of vindicating the martyrs.

    Where is jdavidb? I trust his fundamentalist interpretation of the Bible over that of a malfunctioning bot.
