brettj ugly is as ugly does
the people here can jump someone when ox is gored or stupidity trumpeted. That was not the case in the question asked.
Let us start a religion.
first define who we are.
What we believe is identified with clear definitions of what is not acceptable to us, either behaviorly or materialistically. This clearly defines those who are not us.
Since those who are not us, by our own definition are inferior, our relationships to them is fractionable. This leads to strife, theft and violence. No religion of any creed judeo based or not is exempt. Egypt and Sumeria, Sparta existed before G_d spoke to Moses and they had standing armies. By definition you do not have a standing army without expectation of killing.
