[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 2729668, member: 25419"] First off, I wasn't speaking specifically of Indians. (and if I was, I reckon I have some right to be here, as my grandad's grandma was forced to move here via the Trail of Tears) And yes, some Christians still have idols, I expect most of us do, whether or not we recognize it at the time. So devoid of Christianity, we get compassion for POWs like the Japanese, and Vietnamese? Perhaps the kindly conduct between the different Muslim sects? Look to the Talmud for the other side of that coin - not exactly an egalitarian manifesto. If we look at Christ's teaching - it clearly commands us to treat our fellow men(not just Christians) as we would wish to be treated, as opposed to forcing our religion on them, or killing infidels. Obviously, we have failed miserably at this, but it is something to strive for. Compassion, and liberty. [/QUOTE]
