Conrad73: definitely not!
I wonder how long they're gonna go and hide in the deepest hole they can find, frozen by shame and spiritual remorse! By their actions, I think they're right back into pretending their piousness in front of Man... Okay, I'm done judging for this year; more judging next year, which is in few days

Sure...No, I don't like judging in fact, because I know I'll be judged with the same severity I judge others, so I try to refrain... but hey, I'm not perfect, I do slip up sometimes... darn human nature.

Imagine what world population would be if these people were to stop killing each other. Holy wars serve a useful purpose. It culls the fanatics. As an engineer you'll appreciate the metaphor that it's a self regulating mechanism kind of like a governor on a steam engine.------ This thread is Archived ------

No need, Conrad.
There'll just be a big cover-up and I don't mean of the quilted kind.

The Representatives of the different Faiths really are setting a bad example!
Orthodox and Armenian priests and monks came to blows during preparations for Orthodox Christmas celebrations
Scuffles have broken out between rival groups of Greek Orthodox and Armenian clerics in a turf war at Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity.
Bemused tourists looked on as about 100 priests fought with brooms while cleaning the church in preparation for Orthodox Christmas, on 7 January.
Palestinian police armed with batons and shields broke up the clashes.
Groups of priests have clashed before in the church, built on the spot where Christians believe Jesus was born.

"It was a trivial problem that... occurs every year," Bethlehem police Lt-Col Khaled al-Tamimi told Reuters.
"No one was arrested because all those involved were men of God," he said.
Nobody was seriously injured in the scuffles, according to the police.
Previous clashes between the denominations which share the administration of the church have been sparked by perceived encroachments on one group's territory by another.
The 1,700-year-old church, one of the holiest sites in Christianity, is in a bad state of repair, largely because the priests cannot agree on who should pay for its upkeep.
Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulchre, built on the site where many Christians believe Jesus's body was taken after crucifixion, has also seen similar incidents.
