It is said to have resulted in the deaths of more civilians than both atomic bombs dropped on Japan, put together.<br /> <br /> Oh wait. That was THE DAY BEFORE Christmas. I guess that doesn't count. And they really had it comming to them on New Years Eve since they hadn't all died like good little Nazi's the week before. Peter,

The word "God" doesn't appear anywhere in the text of this document. <br /> Not an accident! Not meant to be established as a Theocracy.<br /> <br /> However, there are certain examples in their (xtians) holy book which portray JC as being an uncaring asshole so it could be said that those who claim to be christians are behaving just like their model.<br /> <br /> Is that what you were getting at? Peter,
