Sorry ladies, there aren't many major monotheistic religions with chicks on their bumper stickers.

Well, in much of Latin America Mary is treated above Jesus.

Yes I do know what that is.

Then you must know they don't support violence. I brought them up as an example.

Are we basically talking about Islam at this end of the thread?

It is a violent religion, but it has as much history of having violence forced upon it as does many others. Not only that, but it is just as contradictory in it's teaching on peace and violence as is Christianity. It's all about venerating a person, real or imaginary, to the point that what he says is absolute, and then putting words in his mouth. Sorry ladies, there aren't many major monotheistic religions with chicks on their bumper stickers.

I, personally, wasn't talking about any religion in particular. I was just trying to point out a very distinct line between two "evils" that many people seem to miss.

Yeah, well, the Catholic Church is playing fast and loose with the title "monotheistic"

True. I think Catholics actually pray to Mary, or through her. Most of the time there are as many or more Mary statues than ones of Jesus Himself.

One of the big differences between the Catholic faith and mine.

Buddhism doesn't... in fact most are vegetarians...

I already said Jehovah's Witnesses. That means I win, right?

Oh yeah, I forgot New Age religion.

New age does.
